Sees counter intuitive, but... getting a saddle that doesn't have much padding might be the answer. Sometimes when a saddle has too much padding it can bunch and also grab your chamois. When this happens the extra padding ends up right in the centerline of the crotch.

My mtb came with a cushy rubber saddle and if i wore tight underwear and well fitting shorts it was, OK. If i wore a chamois and baggies over them, it was horrible. So i switched it with a flatter saddle and stuck with the chamois i knew worked for me in the past.
