Cleared runway 27R at SEE on taxiway B. Large helicopter was hovering 100' north of taxiway C; and 100' west of the fuel pit (our destination).I informed ground control that I could not proceed while the helicopter was airborne. After some discussion; [Controller] said ok.  The helicopter landed after maybe two minutes; and we proceeded. When we arrived at the fuel pump and shut down; the helicopter again lifted off and began a hover maneuver; resulting in a disconcerting amount of rocking and rolling in [our aircraft].I informed ground that we were in a precarious position; and [Controller] said the helicopter was in a non-movement area; not subject to any control.This sort of thing happens less frequently now; and at my home airport most helicopters coordinate with the tower before liftoff. But it is still dangerous for very small fixed wing aircraft. A liftoff at a tower controlled airport is; after all; a flight in class Delta airspace.The real solution here is to make it a requirement that all aircraft aloft in class D airspace be in two way radio contact with the controlling ATC facility. We could clarify 14 CFR section 91.125(d) and 91.129(i) so it applies to helicopters? If it already applies to helicopters; we could include it in recurrent training for controllers and helicopter pilots.
