DON'T listen to Bob Z. you have to slide your foot up, cause if you don't it can lead to all kinds of problems.

anyways, i think your problem is that you pop the tail and then slide your foot up towards the nose. its all one motion so try to pop the board and slide your foot up at the same time. another problem maybe is that your not centered and your sliding your foot towards the side or your kind of kicking your board away from you which makes it fly outwards. the last problem is that your putting all your weight on your  back foot, so when you pop the  board it goes flying away.

but one thing for sure is that you better slide your foot up, even if it means it'll be easier to ollie because if not you'll run in to problems like never ollieing higher and you'l have a painful, hard , and fusturating time learning kick/heel flips

good luck and always keep trying,bro.
