Instead of a simple patch mesh make a Curve-->Primitives-->Cylinder and then add Curve-->Cap-->Cylinder/Dialog. This will create such shapes at the ends of the cylinder. You can then delete the cylinder and the cap that is in the wrong direction.

Simples way I think.

But if you want full controll. Make a Patch mesh. Select it, hit V, and start draging those verticies around tills you get the shape you want.
