Sorry I didn't reply to this earlier, just saw it. If you're still having issues with this, I would recommend that instead of holding the bar tight, you take a more relaxed position with it. You'll still want to make sure you have complete control of the bar but try not to visualize the bar as being held by your hand and more that your hands are resting on the bar. It's tough to figure out how to stop, especially when you don't know you're doing it. Just pay close attention to yourself while doing squats and maybe try a few lower weight reps to see if you notice it.
