I agree with Mike. The difference if any is negligible for 1 - 3 mms at least.

If the cork is compressed and then loose in the socket, it won't hold it place if backed out. Here is a trick to help that.

Moisten the cork in your mouth or rub it with water (not dripping wet though) and quickly and briefly move a lit match or lighter around the cork. It will expand and then regain its grip in the socket.

It will probably darken a bit, but use care not to char it.
