Happened to see a talk by Dr. Neil DeGrasse Tyson last week. While discussing the many things he admits we don't know much about yet (dark matter, dark energy, etc), I want to say he mentioned something along this line.

I think I remember him saying that we don't know what causes the rotation of the gas cloud to start in the first place.

Once it starts, though, the material in the cloud will accrete into a more-or-less planar structure.

I think that was also part of why Pluto was reclassified; they feel that, it was one of these Kuyper belt objects which got dislodged from its normal planar orbit by a passing object, probably another star.

But I'm probably way off on what I think I remember and know.
