Can we get a photo of the lock to see what you're working on? (upload to imgur.com or tinypic.com and paste here), and is this the first lock ever that you are picking? I ask because it takes practice to use that tubular pick, it's not like you put it into the lock and bam, it's open.
Also, it helps to know how locks work and how pin tumbler lock have shearlines, etc. Are you adjusting the collar so it is just tight enough for the fingers to not move easily? maybe you have it turned too tight, as you move the pick left and right, you're supposed to also move the pick more and more into the lock slowly, but the collar has to be loos enough so the fingers of the pick can move as you press more into the lock.
looking forward to photo of your lock,
