You can't bail out of or otherwise exit a plane on the ground at the moment.

Bailing out in the air requires being in first-person view, you can't do it while viewing the plane from the outside, and you have to open your canopy first.

When you press the bail-out button you go to an uncontrollable first-person view that has you tumbling away from your plane. You can at that point go to a controllable third-person view and see your avatar descending. The first-person view though remains uncontrollable during free-fall, when suspended underneath one's parachute and after one has landed.

In third-person view, when you reach the ground, your avatar does a landing roll then detaches his parachute and just stands there until a short while later the parachute and avatar disappear. When landing in water, your avatar detaches from his chute above the water and falls down into it, then floats there in his life-vest, with the chute landing in the water nearby.
