are you simulating trying to get a bar to your chest?
I'm benching next on Tuesday, I'll post an instructional video on my youtube on how we wear our shirts and how they should fit.
These short videos on youtube have done wonders in helping me to explain what we do here.

if I say to myself, there is no way the bar will get to my chest, the shirt is good!

I'll shoot some video on Tuesday showing how to set the shirt. if you did not get a scooped neck, the shirt could be a problem with going into your neck. The video should help you.
