Target Locking V.S planet station locking and general issue with locking

So my problem is that it doesn't always work.

Seems like the problem lies with in what the game seems to think I want locked.

In hyper drive I am flying, I look at a ship and clearly get an orange square around him indicating that I am looking at him.
I click target but nothing. So I spam the button until I get him locked to see who it is and if they are of any interest.
The problem happens again when I try to lock back on to the station I was originally going to. It seems random in locking on as it may choose to lock onto a ship or something else but rarely the station. Choosing next target doesn't;t work either.
So the only way to lock back onto the station is to go into the menu and choose it.

Am I doing something wrong?

You are doing it right. It's almost impossible to lock up the station in SC using the target in front method, just select it from the menu.
