They all do that. Basically, it is a poor design. If it is excessive, make sure that the cord to hold your cap on is tucked into the groove on the side, it should close a little better that way. Otherwise, we all just deal with it.

I'm able to get it to match up properly. I just put my first two fingers and thumb from each hand around the outer edges of the gas door and push it untill I fell it latch.

If I don't close it w/ light pressure all around the rim it does not seem to seat properly and sticks up a little.

Good timing on this thread, I filled up today over my lunch break and w/o thinking just closed the gas door and it looked funny (sticks up a little) so I used my normal method and it looks great.
