What Causes Stiffness In The Neck?

Hello.I am curious as to why my body ( especially the neck ) stiffs when I'm anxious. For example, I'm doing a presentation and, since I know I'm being evaluated, I get a little nervous. I start to feel my legs shaking ( all by themselves ) and I'm almost unable to turn my neck since the akwardness of doing so is due to the fact that it shakes like it's going to break.I get very stiff. I would like to know a solution for this. Thank you ;D
