I think it would be a good idea to get together with your girlfriend and talk with her parents. Let them get to know you so they don't think you're some sort of crazed axe murderer.
I bet if you prove they can trust you, they will let you two alone more often.
P.S. Don't expect her dad to ever love you as much as she thinks he does, because he wont just because you're dating his "little girl" it's a dad thing. I'm 19 and in a long term relationship and my dad is still a little grumpy about my boyfriend of TWO WHOLE YEARS.

You and your girlfriend need to sit down with her parents and talk with them about it. Let them know that you're a good guy and won't hurt her or pressure her into doing anything and you guys would just like some time alone.

You're going to have to prove to her parents that you are a good guy, and trustworthy, and that you'd let nothing happen to your girlfriend, and that you'd protect her.
The reason why her parents are acting that way, is because they are uncomfortable with their daughter, being with a boy- alone. For parents, that raises a million red flags, a a million things running through their minds thinking stuff like: "Oh my gosh, he's gonna get her pregnat" or "What if something happens to the both of them." or whatever.
Have your girlfriend sit down with her parents, (recommended you should be there too) and explain to them that what they're doing is ruining your relationship.
