C-x (                                    (define macro)
C-u M-! date RET                         (your macro)
C-x )                                    (end macro)
M-x name-last-kbd-macro RET insert-date  (name macro)
C-x C-f ~/.emacs
M-x insert-kbd-macro RET insert-date     (insert macro into .emacs)

Now add this line underneath your new macro (choose
whatever key you want to bind it to):

(global-set-key [M-f4] 'insert-date)
