If you have the time and control:

Jettison the canopy
Release the harness
Trim full nose down
Release the stick
Pull the D-ring (after safe separation from the aircraft)

If you can do all of the above, why jump? Unless you're on fire or over
unlandable terrain with nothing within reach. And why would any sane
pilot be there?

If no control:

Do what you gotta do to get out.

Pushing the stick hard forward (assuming you still have some control) is one of the best advice I heard for exiting the cockpit. Probably something to add to mental bailout practices, as it may not be intuitive during bail out. Thanks Kirk for that advice.
