Usually, i've had now problem with good quality shimano skewers and horizontal dropouts. Make sure that your quick release is working smoothly--i dribble some lube around the pivot periodically. Aside from trying an older steel one, you might also trying roughing the paint on the dropouts to give the skewer more bite.
What bike is this on? Are you using uber--low gears often? It's counter intuitive but actually grinding up a steep grade in the granny produces more pull on the rear wheel than riding big gears or fixed gear riding. That's why mountain bikes were the driving force behind the switch to vertical dropouts.
