I'm not sure exactly where the bar is suppose to be located on my shoulders when I squat but I feel comfortable with it below the traps sitting right on the shoulders.
That's probably about the right place for the bar. I always think about it in terms of finding the groove built into the traps just at the top of the shoulders -- the bar fits perfectly there. People like Frank, Gerry, Tom, and Dave will probably call it "the shelf" -- but that's because they're monsters.

Wonder if your core wasn't tight enough and you bent forward too far (causing the bar to roll up toward your neck)? Or maybe you just did too much?

For the record, the bar almost always weighs 45lbs.
