If the dropouts (DOs) aren't parallel because the frame was bent or because someone widened the rear to accommodate a wider hub or simply because it wasn't well-made, then a QR skewer can have trouble holding. Take it by a decent shop and have them check it. Or just tighten a bolt onto each side and make sure it points at the other.
