John, Veena...
Do your heat presses have a half inch thick rubber 'blanket' on the  
bottom plate? I have that, plus an old old teflon covered thin padded  
sheet that slides inside the shirts. The two 'rubber' cushions even  
out any off set to the top platen, and I read when I bought the  
replacement bottom sheet that the intial contact of the heated platen  
causes a quick expansion of the sheet-pressing the fabric up for full  
contact.
Unless I get a folded collar in the way that holds the platen up, I  
don't even get off pressure problems with button neck shirts.
It might also be my heat machine-it is around 35 years or older-solid  
steel-I'd guess it weighs in at over 75#. Takes 2 of us to move it  
and it is only a counter top 12 x 16 model!
