Hi:
Start by checking the steering components. make sure the tierods and good, balljoints... Also, what condition are the tires in? Finally, the reason your steering wheel isn't straight is duel to that last alignment. When they set the toe-in, the steering wheel needs to be in the lock position so it will drive straight when the wheel is straight.
