Elementary question #2: Pumping tires to correct pressure

When I pump up my tires to a certain pressure and release the tire, air escapes. (When I put the pump back on the valve, the pressure indication is less than I pumped it to.) Do people pump a little higher than the intended pressure to correct for this, or not. If so, what's your rule? Have just been wondering about this for a long time.
