I hate this too, but I know that I cannot force the tank to be "mine". If somebody jumps in while I'm repairing then I also jump in and shout "bail out", actually works most of the time. Sometimes they don't even drive away when jumping into the tank, instead they goto to the gunners turret and protect me while I repair. There are nice ppl 2.
I usually jump in and drive as soon as I hear anyone near, but if someone steals my tank and won't bail out I just ride with them until they die and spawns with the tank, or I just takes a car and continues with that...
