Default Oak seedling

I planted an oak seedling last year, it is doing great but I have a concern
about wind. Where I live it can get windy especially in spring and during
storms. The seedling's trunk at the base is only about 1/2-1inch in diameter
and the leaves are in a ball at the top, which is about 7-8 feet tall. I
stake it to about 4ft but now the top sways like a poodle's tail in a dog
show. Will my seedling grow to be crooked? I have several other trees that
have grown to look like they had been planted by the Piza designers in
Italy. So I am not a nut. Please help.
