Visual Studio 2010 indentation in a .aspx file breaks after starting a new code block

I have a block of C# code that I want to write some HTML within:

if ( someCondition ) {
    %><span>its_important_my_span_has_no_spaces_around_it</span><%
}

int x = 0;
// ...

But in Visual Studio 2010, after the <%, I hit Enter and I get

if ( someCondition ) {
    %><span>its_important_my_span_has_no_spaces_around_it</span><%
                                                                     }

                                                                     int x = 0;
                                                                     // ...

It even re-formats this way automatically (e.g., when I type the semicolon).

I keep poking around the Options > Text Editor area in HTML and C# to figure out what to turn on or off but I'm at a loss.

What am I doing wrong?

Edit:

If I highlight that first } and re-type it, it puts it in the right place.

This is always going to be a PITA. Simple way to deal with it though. Immediately after you hit Enter (or any action that auto formats) press Alt+Backspace and move on.

Alternatively, you can go to your Text Editor options and remove all auto formatting for C#, but i don't think you'll want to do that because that will apply to all of your code-behind files.
