So I have my bitcoins in a paper wallet/cold storage. I have both the public and private keys for this. Now I would like to get some of those into my Bitstamp account so I can sell them. Unfortunately I have no idea how to do this.
Help?

You can use blockchain.info to import the private key into their online wallet, or use the electrum wallet. Download the portable version of electrum, run it, then select the option to make a new wallet by importing a private key. It will give you a text box to paste your key into, and that's all there is to it. After importing your key it will sync in seconds, and you can send your coins to your exchange address. IMO electrum is safer than blockchain.info because all the software runs on your computer, not their server. https://electrum.org/#download

Also I have a question regarding paper wallets. Let's say bitcoin suceeds and is a lot more advanced in 10 years. How can you be certain that there will still be ways to import private keys?

Because private/publics keys are a core element of bitcoin and the blockchain ?

You only need the private key.... Find a way to read it(if it is in bar code you'll need a bar code reader of course) then use the import key selection, move the funds as soon as you can and never use the old address again

(ominous "Advanced Warning!" message). Click "I Understand" 6. Import Private Key Is that right? I got through Step 6 and then after that it started recommending that if the Private Key is from a "shared source" I should Sweep instead of Import Directly. It is not from a "shared source" so I chose Import Directly, but then it gave me another ominous message that basically forced me to click Sweep. I did and then I got pink highlighted message in the top-right corner of the screen, but nothing happened. I just checked my paper wallet and all coins are still there.

Continue with following steps: ... 6. Re-enter your main password. 7. Import -> Import Private Key -> Enter your private key (or scan it with webcam) and click "Add Private Key". 8. Chose Import Directly, wait for transactions loading. 9. Click on "Send Money", enter your Bitstamp BTC deposit address, than click "Send Payment". 10. Wait until 6 confirmations and sell your BTC on exchange.

Don't forget step -1
Get yourself a few trusted anti-virus and anti-malware scanners and scan your PC.
You don't want some douchebag eavesdropping on you.

You should first include that in an software or web wallets where it allows you to import the private key and then from that wallet to send to the exchange address.

Because if it succeeds, more people will be using offline storage as a cheap and cost effective way to store Bitcoin safely.
If you have android or IOS device, download mycelium and select the cold storage spending feature. It is fast and supports various decryption method like bip38.

I have AVG AntiVirus FREE -- is that ok? It says everything -- Computer, Web, Identity, and Email -- are "Protected." Firewall is greyed and it says "Upgrade to Activate". I ran a full scan just now and it came back totally clean

I ran a full scan just now and it came back totally clean It should be fine. If you don't remember running any suspicious programs or going to any shady websites. Arguably, antivirus does provide some protection against malware attacks but the main problem is that they cannot detect every single virus out there. With crypters, it can avoid antivirus detections. The best protection is still to not running any suspicious program. I personally never had any virus infections and never got a single satoshi stolen and I don't have an anti virus either. But yeah, I would go for a smart phone with mycelium for spending it and wipe the phone before doing so. Mycelium has a cold storage feature. After spending, the keys are completely forgotten by the wallet which is ideal.

8. Chose Import Directly, wait for transactions loading. 9. Click on "Send Money", enter your Bitstamp BTC deposit address, than click "Send Payment". 10. Wait until 6 confirmations and sell your BTC on exchange.
I did step 8 correctly, there are now zero coins showing at my paper wallet Public Key address. But there are still zero showing in my Blockchain wallet. Is this a normal delay? Re: step 9, I can send to Coinbase just as well right?

Re: step 9, I can send to Coinbase just as well right? Step 8. Zero ballance in your Blockchain wallet means that you not did step 8 or that there are no coins corresponding to this private key. Zero ballance in your paper wallet address means that you/somebody already send this coins. You can check all transaction history here: https://blockchain.info/, just enter your address and click on "Search" button. Step 9. Yes, of course, you cand send them anywhere.

I recommend you to use mycelium app for android as it is so easy to spend your paper wallet by scanning the qr code and send it to the address that you want to fund. I believe it is easier and faster than blockchain
