You can do it with VLC.
Combinations of CTRL, SHIFT, ALT and Left arrow will jump backwards - replace with right arrow to jump forwards.
If you look in the VLC preferences window, under hotkeys, you can see which key-combination does which jump.

If you are an advanced user (or know someone) and your computer has a microphone, then you might be able to use Windows Speech Recognition Macros :
The Windows Speech Recognition Macros tool or WSR Macros for short extends the usefulness of the speech recognition capabilities in Windows Vista.
Users can create powerful macros that are triggered by spoken commands which can perform a series of tasks from as simple as inserting your mailing address to as complex as providing a completely different speech interaction with applications.
Please note that most Bluetooth microphones do not function well with Windows Speech Recognition due to limited audio bandwidth.
So in theory, by using nothing else than one's voice, one should be able to program a speech-activated macro that will send keyboard commands to the player to pause, rewind and unpause. Most players support a keyboard interface.
The download is available from here, some archived macros are available here, and a forum here.
From the large availability of related material on the Internet, I would say that the technology does work. However, I have never tried it, so cannot testify for its efficiency.

Daum PotPlayer, or The KMPlayer. Both can do this. Just hit the left arrow key to jump back(5 seconds is default but you can change this.) http://filehippo.com/download_kmplayer/ You can search around for the PotPlayer.

I think VLC will let you do it easily.
