Not sure I understand your question. But if you mean you are making a selection in one layer than want to paste that selection on a seperate layer in the same position as the first:
1) Make the selection
2) Copy it (ctrl C)
3) Create new layer and leave the selection active in the first layer
4) Shft+Ctrl+V (paste into).

An addition to the above methods…
If the Anti-aliased box is checked before the selection, after the cut selection is pasted into a new layer I noticed a thin border of background around the composite picture. Unchecking Anti-aliased eliminates this problem. (This applies only to the the Elliptical Marquee tool or Lasso tools. The Rectangular Marquee tool does not have the Anti-aliased option)
