I know the feeling. I had the same problem for a long time. The pick always turned clockwise without me noticing it.

What I did was trying a tons of different picks (many brands have "variety packs" for a few bucks). I found that when using Dunlop's Ultex Jazz III the problem dissapeared. I stuck with that pick for a while and now I can use any pick without it rotating. I guess it was about getting the fingers used to the correct pressure and at pick with good grip was a help.

I live by Jazz III's even for my acoustic strumming. Now I find a regular sized pick (eg - Tortex) feels like a dinner plate in my fingers. I will tell ya that strumming acoustic with a Jazz pick was a learning process. Vigorous strumming is not as smooth sounding until I realized how to strike with a Jazz III.
