I have made pita twice recently, both times it stayed puffed after baking. I know when I have bought it from the store it was flat.
It tastes great, it is just difficult to store.

Maybe try cooking it for slightly less time.
EDIT: Also when you're done cooking it, wrap it in a towel. When you cook more, wrap it in the same towel. This will help to soften the rust through a steaming process.
The last time I made them I put them in a bowl lined with a towel, and then covered the bowl with another towel. That seemed to help some. I cut the cooking time down from 6-8 minutes to 5. Going to drop the heat some tomorrow. I still have half the batch to bake for my pathfinder game.
