Default corks seem a bit loose

I've been using synthetic corks so far.

Quite consistently, I can't get the corkscrew all the way into them, as
they start sliding in the mouth of the bottle when I have it partway in.
I can't even get it far enough in to use the levers on the corkscrew.

I can't help but think that this means my seal is less than adequate . . .
