You can use a circle of waxed paper or sprinkle with powdered sugar.

I also use powdered sugar on the cake before I place the next layer.

Cake that leans to one side means that you didn't dowel properly inside.

Cut all the dowels for each tier to the same length and make sure all the ends are square and flat.

Put two rings of dowels into the bottom 2 tiers if you are stacking 4 or 5.
