Yeah I had that problem a lot when I first had tubless tires/rims. I didnt' realize it at first, but the bead was not seating evenly against the rim. It can be a nightmare to get right, until I read of a simple trick:

Put soapy water along the tire bead, this allows it to slip into place without getting hung up.
