Someone please tell me Barre chords do get easier

Been playing for about 6 months now.

Open chords have been going fairly smoothly, well until I started trying to mute certain strings. So now for instance, when I play an A, I mute the big E string with my thumb, but now the fold in my pinkie muffles the little e string. Grrrr!

And for Barre chords. Criminy! Is it possible that some hands just aren't meant to do it? No matter how I place my index finger, one of the creases in my finger ends up over a string I'm trying to bar. Any suggestions? Maybe I could tape a popsicle stick to my finger?
