Keep having to reposition to the back of the saddle, do I have the wrong size bike?

Hi all,

I'm very new to road biking and just purchased my first road bike. I am 5"11 with a 32" inseam. I was told by my LBS that I would need a 56 or 58. The bike that I liked was only available in a 56 and the store told me I looked better on a 56. I'm hoping this was not just a sale pitch. Having ridden the bike a couple of time I find that I am constantly shifting my weight to the back of the saddle, about every 1/2mile. Is this a sign that the frame is too small? The LBS has a good exchange policy and they seem like great people. I don't want to exchange the bike if I don't have to, but if the size is wrong it's only going to get more problematic as time goes by.

thanks for any and all help.
