Socks too tight!

Does anyone else have this problem? I can barely get my socks over my heels! I have knit several pair, following instructions. They fit fine once on, but there must be something I'm doing wrong. I have mostly done cuff-down, one pair toe-up, same problem. I do magic loop, and want to try two at a time, but I want to avoid/eliminate this problem. Any suggestions are appreciated.

I have a high instep and need that top cuff to be very stretchy -- so I use the Twisted German cast on and it is wonderful --- no more tugging and pulling.
