when you do military presses with the barbell, try bringing it down lower (almost touching your chest).
i strongly recommend dumbell presses too (or "arnold" presses).
for the sides, use dumbells. fronts are overkill if you're already doing military presses and dumbell presses.
for traps i do i one set of shrugs with dumbells and another with the olympic bar.

If your shoulders aren't sore but other body parts are, either your form is bad, you're doing the wrong workouts, or you're not working them hard enough.
when you do your shoulder exercises, concentrate on relaxing every muscle except the ones required for the exercise.

This is my shoulder workout:
Military press
Front dumbbell raise
Side lateral dumbbell raise
Rear lateral dumbbell raise
Traps:
Barbell shrugs
Upright rows
Form is key.

Military press should be done to the front.
