Maybe:

 | M-; runs `indent-for-comment'
 | 
 | Documentation:
 | Indent this line's comment to comment column, or insert an empty
 | comment.  Comments starting in column 0 are not moved.

?

Does M-; (comment-dwim) do what you want?

M-; is the tip to make this automatically[1] set this in your .emacs to
auto-fill automatically the comments (but not the code) :

(defun my-c-mode-hook () 
  (set (make-local-variable 'fill-nobreak-predicate)
	   (lambda () (not (eq (get-text-property (point) 'face) 'font-lock-comment-face))))
)
(add-hook 'c-mode-hook 'my-c-mode-hook)


Footnotes: 
[1]  i guess i got this code from somewhere on
