A small bit of JavaScript will quickly check over the text, to see if there's enough matching opening and closing quote tags:

Absent a WYSIWYG post editor that takes care of keeping the quotes tags balanced at all times, one solution for posts like your example might be auto fixing. If there are quote tags in the post, but one is unclosed, just insert another close immediately after the existing one. I bet in 95% of cases, that's where it belonged anyway.

The issue is we cannot just auto-close them, we have no idea where the ending quotes should be. The issue is people manually cutting up quotes and not doing them properly.
