I have actually started experiencing the gas problem recently myself. I usually leave the nozzle halfway in and don't have any random shut-offs like the tank is full.

It is difficult to word a response without sounding dirty, heh heh.

Mine won't stay on like that, not unless I permanently bend/modify the car and/ or the cap. :-(

You muyst orient the gas cap such that the handle either perfectly parallel or perfectly perpindicular to the fuel door so that one of the longer tabs on the gas cap (there are 4 of them) fit behind the built-in ledge in the fuel door. Unless your gas cap and/or fuel door is damaged or not OEM, I assure you it will work.
