You could have damaged the rim when removing the tyre, putting a flat spot on the rim. Check that the rim is perfectly round especially on the lip of the rim.

Before inflating the tyre after fitting the new tube and tyre check that the tyre is seated correctly in the rim (the lip of the tyre and the rim need to overlap before the tyre is inflated). The best way to do this is to put a small amount of air in the tyre once it has been fitted, then run your hands around tyre gently twisting the tyre until you feel the lip lock into place with the rim, once you are confident that the tyre is sat correctly fully inflate the tube.
If you still have experience the problem after trying the above, you may have damaged the tyre or the rim, if this is the case you should go down to your local bike shop and get the wheel checked out.

Lemmi guess, you're fitting great big wide DH tyres on a little skinny XC rim huh? ;o) If you're sure it's the correct sized tyre, then you've either got a ding in the rim of the wheel which is causing the tyre to not seat properly and slip off, or you're not fitting the tyre correctly. Make sure the rim is clean and the bead is seated down in the rim all the way around before inflating.

This happened to me a couple of weeks ago. You sure your rim is not buckled at all? If not make sure the tyre is properly inside the rim before fully inflating the tube (and that the tube is straight). On my bike the tube semed to be lying slightly off center - causing the tyre to stick up. Hope that helps.

Every answer you have received up till now is most likely bogus. There's no way of knowing what the problem is without more information.
For example:
What tyre is it? Make and size.
What rim? Make and size.
Have you inspected the bead all around the tyre?
Have you checked the condition of the rim?
Do you actually know how to change the tyre properly?
What pressure are you inflating it to?
What type of pump are you using?
You need to provide at least this much information to get a sensible answer.

Provided that you're using the right sized tyre, tube etc, its probably that the rim tape that sits under the tyre and tube is misplaced. take the tyre and tube right off. While you're there check that you haven't broken the threads of the tyre around the bead anywhere. Check the rim tape is siting central in the channel of the rim (and move or replace it) and re-fit. Some tyres/rims simply don't work together.

Take the tire and tube off the rim. Check the entire rim for any damage. Make sure the rim isn't bent. Check the tire for any damage. If all looks good, put it back on the rim. You have to make sure both sides of the tire are on the rim all over the rim ! If it keeps coming off, then the tire is no good and needs to be replaced. And I hope you have the right size tire for the rim you have. A 700cc tire won't work on a 27" rim !

This is a clear indication of the tyre beading having got damaged. It is dangerous to ride with this kind of damage on the tyre. You could be heading for a tyre burst. If the tyre beading is damaged, it can nor be repaired. Condemn the tyre and save yourself from potential accident.
If it is a racing bike, just ride no more until the tyre is replaced.

Either you have the inner tube twisted, or you haven't put the tyre back into the rim properly, if your still having trouble take your bike down to an Evans cycles and they'll sort it in no time really really cheap, possibly free.

I have purchased tires like that before, I had a continental 700c that did the same thing and returned it to the shop and told them the problem they replaced thr tire and when the owner checked the tire they found the bead was bad.
Just a word of advice, if you don't know what the problem is make a list of what you think are the causes and eliminate the cheapest first, could save you alot of money.
