Yup, you likley need more hip padding to lock you in there. NRS sells kits, I believe, or you can make up your own from minicell foam.
Do you have foot pegs - are your knees pressed up against the deck? You don't have to be locked in place, but it often helps - esp if you are falling out!
Good luck!
