check viewfinder alignment first. Get a tripod and a level (building). Use the building level to tape a piece of tape to a mirror so it's perfectly level. Level your tripod head and camera. Level your viewfinder image with the tape. Take an image. The result should be perfectly level. I checked my K10D when people were saying the viewfinder is skewed. This is an old technique from the Canon G3 days where they had misaligned sensors...

Even w/ a perfect viewfinder, I find that I sometimes can't get stuff level. I concentrate on matching the viewfinder grid with some horizontal objects but I'm frequently off by 1-2 degrees.
