well I do grease the sides of my cake pans even though it says only the bottom. I have realized however that my cake tends to "shrink" away from the sies of the cake pans .. maybe that is why?
I also grease the sides. Either that or run a butter knife along the edges to get it out once it's cooled. Mine also shrinks away from the edges if I grease it.
I did that today, but I used my spatula, and I scraped a bit of my non-stick coating off the cake pan! 
And by shrinking away from the sides, you mean just coming away from the side, not like the cake is deformed, right?

That's what *I* mean at least. 
I don't have nonstick pans because I've found when it comes to baking, non-stick means it will stick more than anything else 
When my sides shrink away from the pan its still usable .. in fact, I think its more towards the top of the cake anyways, and usually gets leveled off with the dome on the cake ... I never have problems getting my cakes out of my pans .. I use the wilton easy release ..
