Have you tried securing it with a rubber band?
And if that doesn't work you could consider creating some sort of G clamp -

Code:

    _     ____   | |___|    |                  ||---| |   |    |                 .||.      _   _---| |___|____|_________________|__|__   | | | |   | |   `----------------------------'|=| |=| |   | |___________________________________| | |_|   |_______________________________________|
Then there's putting it in a case and using some sort of slotted cover to hold the HDMI plug or cable to the case, in the socket.

You could also use elastic bands to suspend the Pi or the case from the chassis, make it less susceptible to vibration. Loop cables so vibration doesn't make it to the plug, doesn't pull the plug out.

I had a 3.5" HDD suspended by 'knicker elastic' in a PC chassis and that was perfect for eliminating resonance when head-seeking. That held it's tension didn't rot like elastic bands inevitably will.

Ultimately there's always welding the plug to the socket.
