Lower you regulator and vent down to the set pressure until you can pour without foam. You probably don't have long enough beer lines for that high a pressure.
Also are you using some kind of beer gun or counter pressure filler? If not you're just gonna get foam by pour it from the tap into a bottle and there's probably not much you can do. Maybe get a piece of hose that will fit over the tap and extend down into the bottom of the bottle?

Did you chill the bottles before you go to fill them (after sanitizing)?? Did you reduce the pressure in the keg??

Yes,I chilled the bottles after sanitizing.i reduced the pressure to 3-5 psi.I disconected the CO2 in and have been letting the keg sit for a while,then I purge the pressure in it,each time I get a hiss of CO2 out.
What temp were you keeping the keg at while you were carbonating it?
