Stop unplugging it.
At best, the percentage indicator is approximate and regardless of what your percentage indicator states, the battery will not go from 12% to 56% in one minute - and be able to run the iPod without dropping as much as yours does.
The behaviour that you cite is nothing unusual. If your battery is at only 12% when you plug it in, it will still take two or three hours (thereabouts) to be fully charged. In the meantime, the percentage indicator cannot be relied upon.
Charging a battery takes something like four hours from flat. So plug your iPod in and leave it alone for a few hours. The iPod Touch user guide for iOS 7 states that there is a battery icon in the top-right corner, which shows the battery level or charging status. It appears to be slightly different from earlier versions, but this is is what the guide shows:
I assume therefore, that when the iPod is fully charged, the lightning symbol disappears, leaving only the full battery.
If your iPod shows this lightning symbol when you put it on charge (not your % indicator, but Apple's icon), leave it on charge; check it every hour (maximum of four hours) to see if the lightning flash has disappeared. When it does, then - and only then - is it fully charged. At this time, when you unplug it, your percenatge indicator should show a much better level of charge.
Spend time enjoying your iPod instead of fretting about why a part-charged battery doesn't last as long as you think it should.
