I've ordered a different saddle (ahh, just after getting my brooks broken in nicely) to see if that makes a difference in how I sit and align. Supposedly this saddle flexes the two sides separately so it might help with keeping my hips the same height? I can return it if it doesn't help. Don't know what else to try, it is a recent problem, been riding with no issues for a long time. Might see a chiro for an alignment check.
Well, I had the same issue, and it was fixed by dropping the saddle. I see a lot of people setting up their saddle too high. You could check a doctor to see if one leg is longer than the other. For me, it didn't take much of a drop to make things right. That solved a lot of issues I was having with saddle comfort, hip pain, lower back tightness and occasional knee pain. Now I have no issues. The dimples on my seat are now where they should be, they are symmetrical.
If the saddle is too high, you will drop to one side to compensate. You may want to check out Steve Hogg's site.

Good luck.
