Try this:

function! s:TabOrSpace ()
let c = col(".")
if c == 1 || getline(".")[c-2] =~ '\t'
return "\t"
else
return " "
endif
endfunction
inoremap <expr> <Tab> <SID>TabOrSpace()

Then <Tab> (you can change the key, of course) will insert a tab if at
the beginning of the line or after a tab, and a space (you can make it
return more) otherwise.

I'm not 100% sure that's what you want, but I hope it helps anyway.

Best,
Paul
