Also if you leave the capo on too long it can create indentions on the back of the neck. I would suggest removing the capo from the fretboard when you're not playing.

And, tune your guitar without the capo. Place the capo on your guitar in a manner that requires no additional tuning. There's a "sweet spot" on each fret and it might take a little exploring to find it.

Sometimes if a capo is left on for a while it can pull the strings out of tune when it's taken off. Just give em a tune up and they should be fine.
