formatting Calendar correctly

[roxychick8]

Hello, I'm a beginner so im having some difficulty formatting my calendar. My problem is that I can't make the day that the user enters for the first day January 1 fall on to match on the calendar, it automatically aligns it to the left, even if it says it start on Wednesday. I know I must indicate Sunday =0, Monday =1, and so on but how does the computer know I want in specific positions? I was also thinking to just align everything to the right so that the first line of each month can align correctly, since the numbers are correct already..

Heres my code and output...

Help will be greatly appreciated
thanks!

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>

using namespace std;

void getYear (int& year);
void weeklyInfo (int& specialDay);
void printCalendar (int& month,int& days, int usedYear, int chosenDay);

int main()
{
int typedYear,mainDay,twelveMonths,specificDays;

cout<<"Program for Yearly Calendars\n"<<endl;

getYear (typedYear);
weeklyInfo (mainDay);
printCalendar (twelveMonths,specificDays,typedYear, mainDay);

system ("pause");
return 0;
}
void getYear (int& year)
{
cout<<"Enter a year: ";
cin>>year;
cout<<endl;
}
void weeklyInfo (int& specialDay)
{
cout<<"Enter the the day January 1 falls on..."
<<"\nPress 0 for Sunday, 1 for Monday, 2 for Tuesday,"
<<"\n3 for Wednesday, 4 for Thursday, 5 for Friday, and 6 for Saturday: ";
cin>>specialDay;
cout<<endl;
}
void printCalendar (int& month,int& days, int usedYear,int chosenDay)
{
int counter;
counter=chosenDay;

while (month<=12)
