A successful chroma key shot is all about lighting. It is so very difficult to get a cloth evenly lit, but not doing so will result in artifacts and unevenly faded images later in the post production process. This dude explains it all:

Maybe he is a little dorky and not the best editor, but it's a good tutorial.
To be honest, I am not a huge fan of green screen. Using it really well (a la Star Wars) requires tremendously expensive equipment and an enormous number of man hours. I prefer the look of old movies that have false backgrounds, actually. You know? The films where they record the characters in front of another projected image. It is cheesy, but when is green screen not?
What most green screen movies suffer from is a difference in the lighting of the subject and the lighting of the shot used to replace the green screen. I hate the look of that.
