Try turning the nozzle to a different angle. The pumps shutting itself off because there is a backlog of fuel in the filler neck and the pump thinks the car is full.
I've found with mine, if I hold the nozzle at 5 o clock, it doesn't click off till it's full. I'm buggered if I need fuel at lunchtime though.

Similar to macca's suggestion, rotate the nozzle 180 degrees. I've been doing it for years now - had a merc where with the nozzle in the natural position it would cut out as soon as you squeezed the trigger all the way.
Still cuts out at the top, but no annoying cut outs mid fill.
