I have a pair of Shimano PD-R540 pedals on one of my bikes and they are a bugger to get out of compared to my other bike. I have played with the tension, replaced the cleats and still no change. They often rip the rubber cover right off the top part of the cleat they are so tight!
Not sure if the quality of a pedal has any difference for the original posters issue?
