Default kinky strings

I have a weird problem on a folding-neck guitar. When I open it (especially in the dark), the high E string will sometimes kink. And when it kinks, it breaks immediately, with almost no pressure applied, breaking before I notice the kink. Is there a string less prone to kinking?
