no, put pressure on a clean dry dressing and keep it up - bleeding will stop

DON'T QUOTE ME ON THIS, I AM NOT A PROFESSIONAL!!!
I do come from a medical family and I think this is what I have been told. If you have a sharp object in you, leave it in until a professional can remove it, that way it will control the bleeding and keep any internal wounds from opening up further.
If someone removes it, then get help fast. It's not a good idea to put the object back in because you could cause more damage, create more wounds or aggrevate existing wounds.
It would help if you gave a few more details about the problem because every problem is different. Also, with ANY medical advice you should ALWAYS consult a medical professional first.

Direct pressure over the wound itself, but not hard enough to make him yell and scream. Also to control the bleeding it helps tremendously to know where to apply a tourniquet (twisted bandage for stopping blood flow). That shuts off the blood supply just above where the wound is, and in many instances this is the very best way to get on top of things until help arrives.

1st-yell for help-have someone call 911 or arrange transportation to nearest medical assistance if possible
2nd-assess type and location of bleeding-seeping wounds on the limbs can often be controlled with direct pressure alone-if blood is pulsing or spurting then tourniquet or pressure point application may be necessary--direct pressure is the only option for wounds on the head or trunk.
3rd-cover victim & try to make comfotable,then -get help-asap!

It would be best to apply pressure until the person can get adequate medical help. By trying to re-insert a sharp object more damage can be caused.

Place a pad of some description over the wound, apply pressure to the pad, elevate the wound if possible. take to hospital or phone for an ambulance.

You cant possibly place it in the exact same place. You'll just end up making the wound worse by trying. The best thing to do if you removed the object is to apply pressure to the wound to minimize bleeding.

No, don't stick it back in as you'll likely cause more damage. Supress the bleeding using conventional methods - bandages, dressings, direct pressure, even a torniquet if circumstances dictate.

Haha... i think you mean attain a casualty. First you tie a knot above the puncture real tight and then you can take it out whenever you like.
