Just about everyone that has put on the slip on weatherstrips has that problem. Especially if the door fits a little tight to begin with.
Try moving the striker plate out a bit. Be sure and mark around it with a fine felt tip marker first so you can tell how far you have moved it. Only go about 1/16" at a time and don't let it move up or down, just out.
