Difficulties to keep the back erect while squat

Hello,
as the titel says I have some trouble to keep my back erect,
while squatting.
The result is, that I lean forward and feel some pressure
in the lower back.

I also cannot perform FrontSquats, because of this.
I always bend forward, when I go deeper. Especially a close
stance is quite impossible for me.
In the last weeks I started stretching in the lowest position of
the squat in the PowerRack, but even then my back bows.
Does anyone has some suggestions to help or has the same
problems?

Thanks

Pascal

PS: Sorry for my English, but I had only basic course in school in Germany. I hope you understand me
