I'm afraid even if you could somehow be sure that the cop didn't see you exit your car, thats not what he'll admit in court. Can you prove it? If it is your car and you were that near etc... Reasonable doubt and all... I think you're screwed. It almost sounds like he trailed you without lights and siren on purpose, either to see if you'd go faster or do something else illegal and/or to avoid a chase in traffic.

That is legal. It does not matter if he saw you exit the car so long as he has probable cause to believe that you were the driver. If you were not the driver, that could be a defense to the ticket. However, if you own the car and are unable to identify who was driving, that will work against you.
