do this

select nextval('table_id_seq');

before you insert, and insert the value that gives.

this solves your other problem (use of DEFAULT) too, (or is that the

another option is to use 'RETURNING id' when you insert

INSERT
INTO "mytable" ( "thatcolumn" )
VALUES ( 'whatever' )
RETURNING "id";

this needs PG >= 8.2
