Making sushi at home

I suspect you’re trying to squeeze your roll too much when you roll it. You do want to apply a little pressure, but if you’ve got stuff sliding around or getting squeezed out, you’re squeezing too hard. There is a moment of truth in which fortune favors the bold: you have to move quickly and smoothly to bring the edge of the nori ‘over the top’ - I have always imagined what a wave looks like as it crests then crashes. Very little pressure needed at this point.
