I think the problem is that you're really picking up loops between sts rather than actual sts (this is just the nature of the knit stitch, not anything that you're doing). If you can work the I cord on 4 sts and it looks more like the other side, then go ahead. If it becomes a problem, maybe knitting the I-cord separately and stitching it on would work?
