-- UPDATE --
the new version of ideaVim plugin fixed this issue already.
I'm using PhpStorm under ubuntu with ideaVim plugin.
One thing annoying me is when I edit in the popup windows such as show diff editor I need to press Escape to switch to Vim normal mode, but the popup window still gets closed.
I can't find any settings to change or disable Escape key mapping in PhpStorm for closing the popups.

OTHER TIPS
You can use Ctrlc instead of ESC to switch Vim to normal mode. Also, as of version 0.33, you can now add new mappings in your ~/.vimrc, so you can for example inoremap jk <ESC>
inoremap kj <ESC>
and then use the jk chord to exit insert mode.
