I've experienced it many, many times, so I do know what it feels like and that adding a little air to your suit eliminates it, but I've been wondering what exactly causes it. It's not just pressure, because you don't get it in a wetsuit and you're still under the same pressure once you've inflated your drysuit a little.
I think I notice it much more in my Mobies trilam than I did in my Harvey's neoprene suit. I'm also wondering if it could be completely designed out of a drysuit. Say for example that my wetsuit was completely watertight. I doubt that I would experience squeeze with it. I think all of us have had that experience once where we take off a hood and our hair underneath is dry or where we wore a swimsuit or boxers under a wetsuit and they were still mostly dry after the dive. Even though your hair never got wet, your head didn't feel squeezed.
