Hard to remove pump nozzle from stem

Is there a way to make it easier to remove a tire pump nozzle from the tire stem after pumping up the tire? I often have a really hard time with it. I flip up the little lever on the back of the nozzle, and then pull (while hearing the air I pumped in start leaking out), but it takes a while to get it off. I've heard it's best to put a thumb on each side and push it off, but that hasn't been any easier. And now I have a flat because of a leak between the stem and tube that is no doubt caused by all the tugging and pulling. I'd like to avoid this in the future.
