Perhaps you are using a language whose comments start with a '#' character, and that # is in the first column, and you have either 'cindent' or 'smartindent' set? If all this is the case, then by default Vim will not indent the line with >. I think cinoptions can fix that, but C-like languages don't normally use # as a comment, so a better option would probably be just turning off cindent or smartindent.
