The owner of a local cycle shop gave me a great tip. Put automotive grease around the lip of the tire. That helps a lot - more than soapy water, armor all etc.
If needed, I will inflate the tire up to 100 psi, carefully to pop the bead out. I might inflate and deflate it 5 times. If the tire is not defective it's possible to get the bead seated properly.
