This may not be the best of responses, but what you are describing to some extent but modified is the 'pre-turned' hip, something that is often used by hitters.

A couple of things to check just to make sure you know your alignments,

1. Stance line, is it open, square or closed? (10-5) I have been changing to an open stance line and have discovered that I am also aligning my hips sometimes on this line. Stance Line and Hip/Shoulder alignment do not necessarily match unless they are all square.

2. Hip alignment can track with shoulder alignment. I have noticed that with a square stance alignment and focusing on the right forearm takeaway that I have on occasion open my shoulders (hips follow) so that I can trace the line. This I have discovered is that I am still at times letting the right shoulder/arm try and do the takeaway instead of using the just the right forearm.

3. Don't know if you are set up at Impact Fix or Adjusted Address. Have noticed that Impact Fix you can feel that the forearm is pushed out initially cause of the location of the hands. Whereas at Adjust Address this feeling may not exist. In fact at Adjusted Address you may discover that you feel you are going to hit the hip.

I did learn that extensor action PP#1 does wonders for getting the right forearm to travel the plane up vs in.

Just some thoughts.
