Is there a way to align a marginpar with the beginning of a paragraph, without cluttering the text of the paragraph?
If I do the following, the marginpar lines up with the last line of the first paragraph.
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\begin{document}
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Curabitur scelerisque purus vitae nisl lacinia at volutpat sapien bibendum. Sed mollis ultricies arcu non posuere.
\par
\marginpar{Praesent nulla arcu.}Proin neque ante, placerat in laoreet quis, egestas sit amet leo. Mauris vestibulum cursus elit et vulputate. Cras congue nulla vitae tortor mattis porttitor.
\end{document}
Moving the marginpar after the first word of the second paragraph produces the desired effect, but clutters the source document (especially with longer marginpars). Is there a way to achieve both?

\hspace{0pt}\marginpar{...}at the front of the paragraph should do the job.
