Also, are there any export settings that I should know about. I export at H.264 and choose Vimeo HD 720 @23.98 ....anything else I should be doing here?

Both. My slow motion is shot at 60 fps @720 and performance scenes are 24fps @1080

Gary,
Thanks for taking time out of your day to help me with this, really appreciate it and it means a lot. Let me give you a detailed review of what I'm doing, with screenshots.
1. Created a custom sequence preset like you said, here are the sequence settings: http://i.imgur.com/Zf6bOxX.png
2. Here are my general settings, as you suggested: http://i.imgur.com/GLZNd40.png
3. Then, I import my footage. I drag a file onto it, and click on keep settings: http://i.imgur.com/gGaghDC.png
4. Then this is what I get: http://i.imgur.com/Y0e5xOW.jpg
5. Then the only way I get it to fit the frame is if I scale it to 135: http://i.imgur.com/vGRSDJE.jpg
Any idea on what is going on?

It most definetly is 1920x1080. Here are the item properties of the clip that is in the timeline: http://i.imgur.com/5hrjfCo.jpg

Well, the issue isn't even the 720 clips. The one in the timeline and in all the screenshots is a 1920x1080.
Well, I just tried it and the only way I could duplicate what you were seeing was with a 1280x720 clip. Try using the original media if you have it instead of the transcode (you don't need to transcode with Premiere).

Yeah, that was old footage I shot when I was editing with FCP 7 (ProRes 422 LT)

Took some raw footage out of the Canon 7D and still the same problem: http://i.imgur.com/kQikynv.jpg

Well that's just strange. Unchecked the default scale to frame size and restarted. Now when I dropped the 1080 file it worked. When I dropped the 720 file it still gave me a square and forced me to re-scale. Any ideas?
You have to manually scale all 720p footage.

Ok, thanks! So leave the "default scale to frame size" size unchecked then?
As long as you plan on working with 1920x800, yes. Works fine when you use normal resolutions.
