Well for starters you shouldn't take teachers words for granted, but also there are some logics in what he is saying. His fault was that he did not exaplain more thoroughly WHY you should keep the right hand in line with the neck. He just said: Do it. I think that's a wrong approach in general. Instead of that he should have told you to keep the hand properly but allow the hand for some flexibility during playing. People have different physical builds and play on different instruments so there isn't any strict rule how to hold a pick in relations to the string. THere are only general rules how to do it.
Giving that in respect, I suggest you carefully analyze how you hold the pick while going through some simple exercises. This way you will be able to find potential problems and make adjustments. If you practice slow enough, and precise enough I think you don't have anything to worry, in time it will all come together. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

Thanks Ivan. And in defence of my teacher he did say it was to keep the pick straight.

the most important is that you feel good with your pick and remember that the movement comes from your wrist

I agree with Ivan and Juan, there is no rule saying you HAVE to hold your hand in a certain position, you have to feel comfortable while playing, this is very important.
