Ah yes, noticing that it's slid most of the way out of my hand is a common fault of mine; I don't tend to grip it. It certainly doesn't stick straight out, it just rests on my leg. I still don't understand how it can hang vertically, though, since my leg is in the way, unless my hands were really really far apart! I don't think I'm explaining very well...
I think we can sort of see it in the right picture in your signature? By folding your elbow more and keeping it closer to the body, hand a bit more forward, up and thumb up, the whip should rest more forward.
For mine, the pommel sorts of rests on top of my hand between thumb and index and the whip lays in front of my leg. I tend to have the elbows out like a duck and having to carry a whip really helps me to keep the elbows close to the body and shoulders back.
