You are most likely going to need to stay outside when this happens.
Guess it's different for everyone. I didn't have the issue on my M3, but did on my other car. It was because I was a bit too far away from the pump and at a funny angle, so the nozzle wasn't completely in the right way. When it stopped pumping I turned the car on and noticed it wasn't completely full. I stopped, went back, pulled closer and pushed the nozzle in the right way so it wasn't hanging out funny. It filled it completely and was good to go.
