help with smoothing and creasing

Hi,

I'm having some issues smoothing out my model. I need to make some sharp edges and everything I try results in some sort of creasing or pinching that I do no want. I started with a polygon and I've tried two methods. I tried converting to subd and then using the crease tool to create the edge I want, but when I do this I get some pinching on my model. Also, when I render, the corners where I have creased edges are being rendered as rounded corners instead of nice sharp corners (see image below).

I've also tried adding edge loops, but then I get creases in areas I don't want them. Images are below so you can see what I am talking about. Can anyone offer some advice as to how I can get nice edges without creating pinches or extra creasing?? Thanks in advance!
