The mode should do this for you, see `comment-column'.
But the way to use comments is to use it when something sticks
out in a weird way or in a way that's difficult to understand
by just looking at the code.
If you do this all the time comments won't help ...
And if you do this very rarely as you should, aligning the
comment manually is not a problem.
