Check the wattage of the bulb/lamp compared to recommended. If your wattage is too high it could be expanding the metal in the socket particularly if the lamp base and the socket are dissimilar metal. Couple that with slight spring tension on the positive contact of the socket it could be pushing the lamp out slightly during use and then after use the metals shrink eventually you lose contact with the positive contact.
