The easiest way would probably be just to forward rostopic echo output with the -p flag to some output file.

Lets say the name of your "geometry_msgs/TransformStamped" topic is "/turtlebot/stamped_transform". Then entering the command:

$rostopic echo -p /turtlebot/stamped_transform/transform/translation > xyz_output.csv

will produce a text file xyz_output.csv with the data formated like the example below.

%time,field.x,field.y,field.z
1531725938918082952,-354.547943115,-41.9697914124,-33.9759483337
1531725939051723003,-354.530578613,-41.9656219482,-33.9720916748
1531725939181190967,-354.52633667,-41.9511375427,-33.9718017578

You can extract this data straight from the bag files as well. As described in the answers for this question.

$ rostopic echo -b file.bag -p /turtlebot/stamped_transform/transform/translation > data.csv

The -p flag for rostopic will format the data for csv, you can read more about the different flags in the ros wiki page.
