I had this for a while, also had trouble getting deep enough because of it.
Big Jim pointed out to stretch before a squat session, sit deep in squat position and push legs out. I now do this for a few minutes before squatting and it has made a big difference.

One of my clients had the same problem Nazzy. He turned his toes out 30 degrees and spaced his feet out shoulder width apart. As far as I can remember doing that basically cured his groin problem over night.
Try leg swings, (10 front/back, 10 side/side, each leg) before you add weight to the bar. As Grippy has said, assume the squat position and push your knees out with your elbows stretching the hip flexors too.
Warm up adequately. From memory, my client does, 6 warm up sets before he gets to his actual working set.
Foam rolling in addition to all of this, will also help!
Yes sir hammer... I love the movement... I actually use them every workout in between sets now to visualise how my body and legs should move through the squat...

Try switching to a different stance for a while, let the body heal a bit. Or better still switch to front squats and increase your core strength, this will help alleviate the hips as you will load them more evenly with a stronger core.
Well, it's good to have peace of mind, if you know the source of the problem you can then work out a plan of recovery, instead of trying to self diagnose.
