The tube can get stuck under the bead and inflating them pinches the tube. I put a little air in the tube after getting the tire back on and then make sure the tubes is not pinched especially near the valve. Like the previous poster said, push the valve into the tire to make sure their is no pinching then inflate before tightening the valve nut.
