Over-inflate it tonight. It should seat itself at some point, and seal up good. Just remember to release some air before you ride it though.

I had the same problem with my Arrow, you just have to pull hard on the side of the tire until the bead catches properly. They have 2 levels on the sidewall for different width rims (I think), do this with low air pressure, it is easoer to flex the tire.
