Remember to always tighten and loosen your lug nuts in a star pattern to avoid op's issue!

And get a real torque wrench!!! The equipment in the trunk is truly only meant for emergency on the side of the road use!
and not the $20 beam type from Advance Auto... get a good 'click' type from Sears. Keep it in it's case when not in use. I'd also invest in a good 24" to 36" half inch drive breaker bar to keep in the car to break lug nuts loose.
