I agree it's a bit frustrating at first, but once you understand it, 
then it's helpful. This is how i'm using it:
- I don't type any quote, just some text, then i select the text that I 
want to quote (with maj/ctrl/arrows) and hit " only once.
- I start by hitting " once and then enter the text I want to be quoted.

The only problem i have left is when i would like to replace some 
existing text with something quoted, i keep doing (by habit): select the 
text, and hit " instead of typing the replacement text first. So I end 
up with quoting the text i wanted to replace.

Emacs rulez! ;)
