Using vscode 1.18.1 on macOS High Sierra.

When entering vim command mode using :, you cannot exit it using ctrl+[, you have to use the esc key.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the VSCodeVim keybinding handling code, specifically the command line mode exit logic. Look for how Ctrl+[ is mapped and compare with Esc key handling.
