There is an issue with the thermocouple. Either you're not getting it hot enough to keep the valve open, or it's shot. It should take about 30-45 seconds for the pilot flame to get the thermocouple hot enough to keep the valve open. If you're holding it for over a minute, and the pilot flame goes out after you release the button, you need to replace the thermocouple. They can be gotten at any RV store, and most places like Ace Hardware carry them as well.
