Do you usually type a " quote " already with the spaces? Or do you type it without them and entrust your word processor to do the spacing?
It depends. In a text editor (MS Word, OOo Writer), I type only the " and it changes to «  if the " is following a space or  » if following a non-space. This is the default setting for the French and Belgian-French locales. 

So the space is automatically added. But the result is immediate.
Typing «some text» or <<some text>> with no space is just plain weird *for me*.
However, most people I know are not bothered with typographical niceties and what are the prescribed characters and would very gladly type <<some text>> and see «some text» or type "some text" and see “some text” (or even "some text" - with no change).
I forgot to write that (I think that) nobody would enter %%" some text "%%. That is just too weird.
