It doesn't matter if I tighten the quick release like crazy or leave it a little loser. The bike is a steel frame so I'm not sure if the quick release skewer is the wrong size or the wheel hub is the wrong size. Everything looks fine and I've taken the rear wheel off other bikes hundreds of times. I'm at a loss.

I had this happen with my steel frame bike as well. Bike shop dude didn't have a clue. I wondered if it had something to do with how the quick release grips the drop-out. Lo-and-behold, the quick release lost its knurling (the part that grips the drop-out) and so it wasn't biting into the drop-out. I replaced the QR skewer with a Paul Components. All is well.
