myform[expr_]:=Block[{num,den,fact},
    num=Numerator[expr];
    den=Denominator[expr];
    fact=If[Count[den,E^a_]\[Equal]1,First[Cases[den,E^a_]],1];
    Apart[num/fact]/Apart[den/fact]
    ]

E^(-2 eta y)(-theta + E^(eta y)(2+theta))/(2 alpha)  // myform


The output will look something like your preference:

(-theta E^(-2 eta y)+ E^(-eta y)(2+theta)) / (2alpha)

at least in the default OutputForm.
