If the tire had not been seated correctly before, you would have noticed a pronounced bump while riding the bike. Continue working on it- different tires take different combination of lube, pressure, and physical manipulation before they seat properly. I just went through this with a tight-fitting Moulton tire- 3 sessions of lubing the bead, pumping up, deflating, and trying again before the bead popped into place at 80psi.
