Do have to ability to post a video of your form ?

it sound a little like your squat form is similar to a powerlifting squat

which is better for your knees and puts more emphasis on the glutes and less on the quads. It is important to have good hip and ankle flexibility.

having a wider foot position will take more of the preasure off your knees
