because you are using tabular-layout making that work with CSS will be
even trickier.
CSS works best on table-less layout.
If using tabular layout you probably can achieve padding via table's
cellpadding ou cellspacing attribute.


But sticking with your original question, here are some styles to try:

tr.answer { text-indent: 1em}

try that first to see if it works across all browsers.

otherwise

tr.answer { padding-left: 1em}

might be safer.

the unit em = 1 character in length (the letter 'm') , change that to
your liking
