Chances are you were going at it a bit rough. Perhaps this excerpt from International Circumcision Information
Reference Centre will help explain.

"Stretching the foreskin may work where there is only very slight phimosis. However if too much stretching is done minute tears are caused and these heal to tiny scars which are even less elastic than the skin around them - thus the phimosis actually gets worse and circumcision is eventually necessary."

All the best.
