Walking into the stance is difficult. I'd advise getting getting your feet into the correct position FIRST so your head starts off in the best position every time (before coming down on the shot).
I also believe it's best to train with your left foot parallel to the "Line of the Shot" (if right handed)....this does create an open stance, however it has vast benefits when you get to the more advanced levels of play (giving you the ability to hit a particular side of the pocket by adjusting your left foot as opposed to the upper body).
It's important to learn what the most effective pre shot routine is, then conforming it to your own personal style of play (that takes into account your height, weight, arm length, etc).

You need to be having this discussion with your instructor, not on the internet. It sounds like you are looking for someone to give you the answers you want. Either you have complete faith in your instructor, or you find another instructor. Doing anything else isn't being fair to your instructor.
As an instructor I tell my students who have been playing for a long time that you will play worse before you play better. You have to work through it and trust the instructor. They have to work through your bad habits and help you develop the right habits.
Trust the instructor, dedicate practice time to what you work on in the lessons and the results will come.
