Why not
$^\circ$, or

\degree
I like the output of these commands better than the Alt+0176 symbol.

Yes I alway do from the math mode, after power command ^ then from

As far as I know, there is no standard macro for this.
(I guess in some fonts it is character 228).
However, I usually use:
\newcommand\degree{\ensuremath{^{\circ}}}
in preamble, and then \degree{} in ERT in text.
