You can fix most of your problem using a stub length drill bit. It will be about 1/2 as long as the average jobber bit. If you have a woodworking drill press or something from harbor freight, you probably also have some bearing runout at the spindle and a cheesy chuck which would also contribute to the bit wandering around upon starting the hole.

And clamp your work to the table when drilling, backing it up against the rear or the drill press properly...
