squat with your hams and glute more, get deep in the hole. read starting strength it teaches you perfectly
feet shoulder width maybe a tad wide, feet pointing out at about 30 degree angles, and push our your knees when you squat to engage your adductors. keep your back tight and sit back into the squat with your hips, squat below parallel. use hip drive to get out of the "hole" if you aren't hitting proper depth, you aren't getting the VMO stimulation, which is the part of the quad that supports the knee. 1/4 squats will wreck your knees. best to go below parallel.
foam roll your IT bands (sides of the thigh), a tight IT band can ofter cause lateral pull on your knee, you want a medial pull.
make sure your glutes are firing properly as well, do mobility warmups like x band walks, one leg deadlifts,and squat-to-stands.
