CEME,
Usually you can leave the line outside the line guide and pull line off the spool till the two line up again. If that doesn't work loosen the screw at the top of the line guide carriage (over the Pawl) the line guide should slide back and forth over the pawl so you can re-align it with the line coming off the spool then re-tighten the screw and catch some fish! Be careful of small parts that may fall out if you loosen the screw too much. Don't worry if that happens cause it is simple to re-assemble.
I'm not sure exactly what you mean by the "pyramid" problem but I suspect it may be caused by the line not being wound tightly on the spool when you first start spooling (this happens a lot with the new super lines). If that happens then sometimes the line will spin freely over the reel spool and cause all sorts of weird problems. If you have a knob on the reel spool use it to attach your line to the spool to keep this from happening. if you don't have a knob (most reels these days don't) then you can use a piece of duct tape or something similar to attach the line snugly to the reel spool when first filling it up.
Hope this helps.
Mike Coe.
