I think there is some confusion here.
If you use a style like the following
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
.first
{
text-indent: 20px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="760" border="0">
<tr>
<td class="first">I have my text in a table, and the text indent css stye doesn't work... When I use padding left 20px it only indents the first line of the paragrph...

</td></tr></table></body></html>
This will indent only the first line.
But if you use the following method
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
.first
{
padding-left: 20px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="760" border="0">
<tr>

</td></tr></table></body></html>
This will give a left padding of 20px to each and every line
