Default Go To Column A

This seems like something that should be simple enough...

I'm trying to write a macro that first inserts a row and then goes to
column A of that row before executing the rest of its code. I've
tried:

Selection.EntireRow.Insert
ActiveCell.Columns("A:A").Select

which successfully inserts the row but fails to go to the column A.
What is the proper way to do this?

That is not what you originally asked. You stated that you wanted to go to
"column A of that row" which would indicate that you wanted to select a
single cell in column A..

Actually, this would be better but why SELECT??? It is far better to write
your code so that there are NO selections. Almost NEVER necessary.

ActiveCell.Rows.Insert
Cells(ActiveCell.Row, "a").Select
