The air is probably leaking past the rim, tire stores will smear a vaseline like substance along the bead to seal it up, I did the same at home and it worked. You can also replace the pneumatic tire with a solid one.-Jitney
How do I inflate a tubeless wheelbarrow tire that fails to seal

The last time I had this problem I put my weight on the tire by pushing my forearm across the tire tread while adding air with the other hand. It resealed.

I take it you are not a Little Person :-)
As everybody has said, you surround the tire with a band, much like Scarlett O'Hara's corset, and get Mammy to tighten it until everything pops into place.
My solution was to get a tube from Harbor Freight (about $2.00) and the problem disappeared forever.
Yeah, well you try pulling them through a muddy rice field and let me know how much better you think that works.
Not since the fourth grade.
