By using proper html. You align in the same way you would have aligned them if they weren't select tags.
Do you use table tags? If yes then there is something wrong with your td,tr tags. Try to add the border="1" attribute at the <table> and see what is going on.
<table border="1">
<tr>
<td>Line 1 Col 1</td>
<td>Line 1 Col 2</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Line 2 Col 1</td>
<td>Line 2 Col 2</td>
</tr>
</table>

Thank you very much. It is now aligned by using <table> tags. :)
