As is often the case with Premiere there are many ways to do this.

I put a solid white colour on Video track 1, the man on Tr2, the green solid colour on Tr3 and the white shape on Tr4. Then add the track matt key on Tr 3 with the keys selected to Tr 4.

Let me get this straight: you want the green to stay and the white made transparent?
