As of VS Code 1.21.1 you need to edit

/usr/share/code/resources/app/extensions/typescript-basics/snippets/typescript.json

In Windows

/Applications/Visual Studio Code.app/Contents/Resources/app/extensions/typescript-basics/snippets/typescript.json.

In Windows 10 (vscode version 1.30.* (user setup) later)

*C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code\resources\app\extensions\typescript-basics\snippets\typescript.json

In the 'Import external module' section of that file make the body array property to be the value "import { $0 } from '${1:module}';" The section will then look like this:

"Import external module.": {
    "prefix": "import statement",
    "body": [
        "import { $0 } from '${1:module}';"
    ],
    "description": "Import external module."
},
