Were you in half guard or butterfly? more importantly where was your non rubber guard leg? I've been toying with the idea of a carni kind of idea until you want to get into gogo clinch. I've found it easy enough to get my leg out afterwards but I can see someone who knows what is coming could trap the leg and stop you from getting into the proper control/hazelett etc.
the typical thing to say would be work on your clinch and make it tighter. or possibly make sure you stay on your side. the other part of it is getting your foot over into gogo clinch quicker. ive found when i get the leg over it makes it harder for them to move. try turning your hips more as well which can put more pressure on their shoulder and make it harder to turn.
good luck dude.
