Indentation with a tab key depends on the mode.  In most editing modes,
the tab key indents to what it thinks is the correct indentation length
for that line (in that mode), which means that pressing tab again will
just indent to the same place.  For programming modes, you want to
figure out why emacs's idea of the correct indentation is different than
yours.  How you do this may depend on the mode you are in (i.e., what
type of file you are editing).  You may need to be more specific if you
want more detailed help.  Alternatively, you may want to look at the
documentation for the mode you are working in.
