See this blog post: http://zuttobenkyou.wordpress.com/2011/02/15/some-thoughts-on-emacs-and-vim/ and search for "cofi". I use the "kj" version myself and it works just like Vim.

EDIT: Here is the actual code snippet from the blog post:

(define-key evil-insert-state-map "k" #'cofi/maybe-exit)

(evil-define-command cofi/maybe-exit ()
  :repeat change
  (interactive)
  (let ((modified (buffer-modified-p)))
    (insert "k")
    (let ((evt (read-event (format "Insert %c to exit insert state" ?j)
               nil 0.5)))
      (cond
       ((null evt) (message ""))
       ((and (integerp evt) (char-equal evt ?j))
    (delete-char -1)
    (set-buffer-modified-p modified)
    (push 'escape unread-command-events))
       (t (setq unread-command-events (append unread-command-events
                          (list evt))))))))
