Move to the insertion point (cursor keys, Ctrl-B, Ctrl-E, Ctrl-\, Ctrl-N, etc)
and then press Ctrl-V.  That turns on "insert mode".  Press  Ctrl-V again to
turn it off again.

Sneekee trick I use under KDE:  I move to the insertion point, highlight
everything on that line to the RIGHT of the insertion point, press Ctrl-Y to
delete to end-of-line, type my extra word, and then Ctrl-Insert to paste back.
It's cheating, since I'm not technically inserting at all, but I like to
leverage the power of the KDE console cut-n-paste feature.
