It could be a few things depending on where you position it, few ideas that come to my mind is leaning forward under the weight causing unnecessary strain on your neck as you try to correct your position. Also your grip might be too narrow so you don't have the best control of the weight causing the stress on your neck.
When it comes to squats I recommend not trying to fit into a recommended grip, simply position your hands in a way that you feel gives you the best control of the weight throughout the squat movement.

Hi sleazy
I have the bar in a low position on the rear delts, I have experimented with widths of grip and have found the narrow one to be the best for control, I have tape on the barbell so I get my hands and bar in the same position every time.
I will experiment further and see if I can find a more comfortable position.
Thanks Jonson
