If it IS a Nelly Moser, books suggest 'light prune only' (I have Marigold Badcocks Clematis book), so to just trim it to keep a shape that pleases you.
I don't think it looks untidy, unless you were expecting a very formal trained look i'd leave it pretty much as is.
You could prune half of the plant, this way you achieve flowers higher up on the unpruned parts and flowers lower down on the pruned parts !
(Prune those bits after it's flowered)
I'm NO expert though, just a mad keen Clematis grower :)
