If you don't want TAB to do indentation, you can bind it to just insert tabs.

(add-hook 'html-mode-hook
   (lambda () (define-key html-mode-map (kbd "TAB") 'self-insert-command)))

Some modes offer "bouncing" indentation, where TAB will toggle the indentation level between a few alternatives. An example for javascript is js2-mode. I'm not aware of a more general solution.

However, note that if TAB is getting intercepted by the major mode's keymap, you can still insert a literal TAB character using C-q TAB. That is probably all you need.
