I refer to that 'inward buckling' as the "bambi-learning-to-walk-move" (as in the disney movie).
Two ways I'd look at it: 1) weak glutes and/or 2) tight/'overactive' adductors.
Without starting a rant about traditional stretching, I'll just say I'd address the weakness first. Any 'tightness' tends to take care of itself. (gotta love that law of reciprocal inhibition!)
In addition to the unilateral moves mentioned above, you might also try squatting with a band/tubing around your legs (just above your knees).
Not too tight - just enough to provide additional neural input to wake up your 'dormant' glutes.
