For indenting more than once, simply use the . key to repeat the last operation – barbaz Jul 14 '11 at 9:47

You can use the normal mode command gv to highlight the previous visual selection. Therefore, you could use the following mappings:

:vmap < <gv
:vmap > >gv

The :vmap command sets up a mapping that will work only in visual mode. You are therefore rebinding the < and > visual mode commands to perform the indent and immediately re-select the previous visual selection.
