I use a punch when the nail gets close to the trim. My problem is 1) missing the nail and hitting the wood. 2) bending the nail and having to constantly re-straighten it. 3) Getting it close to the wood, then having it bend over where it's too short to straighten, so I drive it in the best I can with a punch, leaving a bigger hole.

Grrrr.
