You can add a table using HTML rather than wiki markup, as described at HTML element#Tables.

Clicking the button will open a dialog where you define what you want in your new table.

Another way to fix the problem is to copy the table wikitext to a text editor such as freeware NoteTab Light. The following method works for tables with flag templates. In the table wikitext do a mass replace of }}|| to }}^P|. ^P is the NoteTab Light code for a line break. That puts the row header cells on a separate line in the wikitext.
