I always put some copper based high-temp anti-seize on the back of the wheels and rotors/drums where they contact to prevent this. It has work like a champ for me, even on the horrid railroad pickups with their 60 pound steel truck wheels. I remember it taking two guys beating the wheel with an 8 lb sledge each to get them off. Anti-seized them and next time they came right off without so much as a tap.
edit: you should be able to see the contact points pretty easily, they should have some sort of witness mark. I'd post a picture for you but i'm computer illiterate outside of excel, and never have figured out the picture thing here.
