Sounds like what often happens when you wear a tube top. Kind of embarassing.

Sometimes misspelled as "protruberating", probably under the influence of "protruding", which is similar in meaning: "swelling out" versus "jutting out". This reminds me of stream capture. Perhaps the phenomenon could be called spelling capture. Or is there already a word for it?
