The procedure for pre glowing goes like this:

1. Insert key
2. Turn key to 2nd position
3. Watch glow plug indicator light and wait until it turns off
4. Crank

Number 3 is very important. Are you just waiting 10 or so seconds and cranking with the light still on? You should be cranking when the light turns off.
