Yes, it does creep. I just wonder what problems you refer to.

Don't use heat sink grease. That has fillers
to
make it thermally conductive. Use the clear gel stuff.
Dow Corning #4 works wonders and doesn't harm any of
the electrical stuff. I actually use SilGlyde that I
got at the automotive shop. It works quite well.
I still wouldn't use silicon grease, because it creeps over time, and
can cause all sorts of problems, often at some distance from where it
was originally put.
