kengee,

On a plane like yours, here is what I do. I position the plane on the runway, and from idle hold full up elevator and slowly increase the throttle while letting off the elevator. When I reach 1/2 throttle I'm usually off the elevator (elevator at its neutral position) and the plane has enough speed for the rudder to be functional. This keeps weight on the tail wheel so there is positive steering/directional control.

Do you have toe-in on the landing gear? If the wheels are straight ahead or have toe-out this could be causing it to be squirrel on the ground.
