I am a professional HVAC installer and I have a few things you can try to help your situation.....

Closing the dampers in your floor registers is one good way to even up the temperature, open up where its cold, close down where its warm. Another way is to run your furnace fan 24/7, if you have a newer type furnace you wont even notice any energy consumption increases on your bill. I have owned my house for 6 years and the fan has never shut off. The third thing you need to look at is where you are losing heat in the cold areas of your house. Have a look at your blinds/curtains, keep them closed, check for drafts coming out of the wall/windows ect.

Hope this helps!
