I have found that it is hard to get a good read on the dipstick immediately after engine shut-down. Oil was just splashed up onto the dipstick tube and it will read all over the place. If you wait a couple minutes after shut-down on a warm engine, you will get good readings; and sometimes it take a couple of dips. Make sure you are parked on level ground too.
