Since this seems to be happening frequently, you're probably doing something wrong.
My guess is that you're flipping your bike frame over onto it's handlebrs when you replace your front wheel. When you do this it's comon not to get the axle completely bottomed in both dropouts. Here's the easy fix:
1. Flip your bik back over onto it's own wheels.
2. Flip your quick release lever loose.
3. While pushing down on your handlebar stem, retighten the QR. - Done.
