Almost sounds to me like the wheel was not properly mounted. Loosen up the QR, and when you install the wheel make sure the bike is on its wheels so the weight of the bike is pushing the front wheel into proper position. If it's not centered at that point, you have a problem.

You know how to properly tighten a QR skewer, right? (Not trying to insult your intelligence if you do, but lots of people don't.)
