How can I paste a contact to the dial screen while on a call

I just got a Samsung Galaxy S3mini. I make many international calls with a local access number. I have to dial the local number before dialling my international number on the number/touchtone pad. This is tedious as I have to first remember or write down the contact number before dialling.
If I copy the number on a clipboard, the phone will not allow me paste it on the dialling screen when I'm already dialling the local number.
Or if I paste the contact number from favorite list onto the dialling screen, the touchtone function stops working and I cannot follow the prompt of the automated phone to carry on with the call.
I also tried linking the local phone to my contacts in the address book, but not both numbers do not appear together on the dialling screen
I used to be able to do this with much older phones that dont have a touch screen function.I'm surprised the so-called smart phones can't do this.
Does anyone know a way around this?
