Hub adjustments can be a pretty fine thing to get right, and it usually takes patience to get a feel for it. After you do a few times it gets easier, but accounting for the compression induced by the QR is the hard part. Since you are aware of this, you have already taken the big step to getting correct adjustments.
Park has a pretty good proceedure for getting it right:

Also, a jig for doing a bench adjustment with the QR installed makes this job much (!!!) easier. I am talking about the Stein Hub Axle Vise:
