Ideally, you want to separate the display aspects into CSS and leave just the content in the XHTML file. Handcoding things is relatively straightforward, but I don't know enough about InDesign to go about telling you how to handle the automatic conversions.
If all of the <p> tags are getting the same space before, then in the external stylesheet, you would add something along the lines of:
Code:
p {padding-top: 1em}
If the amount of spacing was variable, then simplest (though not "best practice"), is something like:
Code:
<p style="padding-top: 2em">This is paragraph 1</p>
<p style="padding-top: 1em">This is paragraph 2</p>
