when you set yourself up to do the box squat, set your stance just infront of the box. this will help you to emphasize a little more in terms of sitting back onto the box. but from your video, it looks like you are in decent position when you get to the box. your knees look to be inline with your toes, which is a good thing.
when you sit on the box, don't rock. just sit, relax your hips for a second, and then fire back up.
you can do box squats with any stance, PL style, or conventional stance. it doesn't really matter. just do them however you normally squat.
it looks like when you are coming off the box, you are leading with your hips. what I mean by this, is that your ass is the first thing to move, and then your head does. this causes you to lean forward when you are coming out of the hole. this is something you should take some time and correct, because it could lead to problems down the road.
also, try to tuck your elbows a little more under the bar. i say this, because, whether or not you notice it, when coming out of the hole, people tend to push on the bar (this is actually a good thing). if your elbows are not tucked then you could end up pushing forward on the bar, and it would cause you to lean forward in the squat. don't worry about getting the perpendicular to the floor, this is nearly impossible, but try to bring them under the bar as much as you possibly can.
