It can be pulled back but it is not in that position all the time.

Nothing is wrong. In uncircumscribed males the skin may not go back 'all the way back' to the base of the glans. If you have no problem during sex and at other times there is nothing to worry. To make it more mobile you can pull it back a bit more than usual daily and bring it forward again till it gradually becomes supple and can easily move all the way back.
