I'm orthodox. With my stance, I stand at a good angle and my lead glove is close to chin level. However, my arm itself is not straight and verticle to the ground. The elbow touches the ribs, but the glove drifts right towards my right glove in my guard (at about a 2 o'clock position). My jab is thrown more like a straight left I think. (or used to be).

I am definitly incorporating the shoulder like you said. I do it by moving the right shoulder and hip back to snap it out. The problem is that my right glove moves back to the point where it is not longer in front of my face for protection. I have heard people describe this 'snap' of the back shoulder and hip and a 'Bow and Arrow' effect with the jab like you are an archer of something. Is anybody familiar with this term??
