Mike Robertson does a great job of explaining the importance of maintaining a neutral pelvic position in his must-read article
Hips Don't Lie: Fixing Your Force Couples.
The goal for all your time outside the gym and for perfect posture on most lifts is neutral pelvic alignment. The only exercises where we don't want neutral posture are abdominal exercises. In the plank, we want to flatten the back just slightly by moving into posterior pelvic tilt and maintaining that pelvic position throughout the timed set. Cues to get you into that position might be sucking your belly button in and/or tucking your tailbone under.
After you read the article, let me know if you've got any further questions.
