I couldn't replicate any problem with that over here. I set up a shortcut for R for rectangle, and E for extrude, then pushed R, drew a rectangle, selected it and pushed E then typed in 20 (or any number) and it worked fine for me... This is on OSX 10.7.2 Mountain Lion.

Do you possibly have any shortcuts set up with a number key being the shortcut key? Having things set up like that can interfere with using the number keys for numeric input.

What are the exact keys that you have set up for extrude and rectangle, do they use a Cmd key combination or just a single letter?
