to indent several lines, you could do
1) set dot to range, like 1,5
2) s,^, ,g

(a tab between second and third coma)

but that'd indent the empty ones too :(

you want

1) set dot to range, like 1,5
2) s,^.,        &,g

(a tab between second coma and the ampersand)
the `g' means `do it for every line, rather than just the first one'
