Carving on the takeoff will help the skis stay parallel. Just keep in mind that carving will cause you to drift in the direction you are carving/spinning. Also, make sure that pop is strong and patient

When I carve I come in from the opposite direction I'm spinning so when I'm carving, I come off the jump straight.

You are setting your spin from your edges and its the way skis are designed to work, if you put a ski on its edge, it will turn because of the sidecut. Best advice has already been given, learn to carve your spins. Start small, 3's, 5's and build it up. Pop is key. Cannot set properly without a solid, strong and patient pop. If carving doesn't work for you, try not to put your skis on edge until after the transition and make sure to feel your little toes against the side of your boots as much as you can.

Keep your knees bent and don't lean back.
