I've been reading a few threads now, and alot of the approach to frames sizing is a bit naive.
Check your top tube, as thats far more important to be correct than ST- both in my experience and in what others (people who know shit) have said to me.
Its sounds like your riding a bike a little to small TT wise.
also your legs are very short- did you measure right up to where its supposed to be measured too?
I'm just saying as I'm 177cm and have an inseam of around 33":
