This happens because the plastic shrinks a bit when it gets warm, kind of like shrink wrap.  Very similar plastic edging, T shaped and designed to press into a saw kerf, is available at stores that serve cabinet makers and other serious woodworkers (not a regular home center or lumber yard).  Is is usually available in several colors.
