We propose an improved quark coalescence model for spin alignment of vector mesons by spin density matrix with phase space dependence. Within this model we propose an understanding of spin alignments of vector mesons ϕ and K*0 in the static limit: a large positive deviation of ρ00 for ϕ mesons from 1/3 may come from the electric part of the vector ϕ field, while a negative deviation of ρ00 for K*0 mesons may come from the electric part of vorticity fields. In the low-pT region, ρ00 for K*0 mesons is proportional to pT2, which is qualitatively agree with experimental results.
