Store them in the block blade up instead of blade down.  This way, when 
you slide them in and out, the blade isn't "slicing" into the wood.  I 
don't know if this will preserve the sharpness of the blade in the short 
run, but it will certainly preserve the block in the long run.  I came up 
with this after seeing a friend's many years old knife block has all the 
bottom edges of the slots "sliced" down an eighth of an inch at the 
opening.  Not a lot after a decade or two, but, well, uh.  Anyway, that's 
what I do.
