My DH loves pineapple upside down cake so I make it frequently. How do you prevent the pineapple from sticking to the pan?

Here is the method I use so you can tell me if there is a better way to keep the topping intact.

First, I spray the 9" round pan with Pam, then I melt butter in the pan. Next, I add brown sugar over the butter and arrange the pineapple tidbits in the pan. Last, I put the cake mix over the topping. When the cake is baked, I cool the pan for 10 minutes and invert it onto a plate.

Any tips to prevent the pineapple from sticking?
