In David's case, he was not uncovered. Michal slandered him - he did not shame himself before God. That is why Michal was cursed by God - if David had sinned (and public nakedness is sin), then God would have chastised David, not Michal. That is why it is good to arrive at a conclusion that takes into account all related or parallel passages. 1 Chronicles gives some info that 2 Samuel does not.
1 Chronicles 15:29 And it came to pass, as the ark of the covenant of the LORD came to the city of David, that Michal the daughter of Saul looking out at a window saw king David dancing and playing: and she despised him in her heart.
2 Samuel 6:23 Therefore Michal the daughter of Saul had no child unto the day of her death.
