"Malory writes that Lancelot was first among the knights of the round table not only in arms but in "nobility of bearing" as well."

It means he was an impressive man to meet. He gave of an air of being noble, probably both politically and in his treatment of others. He was, in public at least, very polite and very adherent to his personal honor.
Upon further examintaion of the Arthurian texts however it does become apparent that he wasn't quite so honorable as he at first appears.
One of those people that looks like a really great guy, who you get the "he can do anything" impression from, but then turns out to be kind of a dirty cheat once you get to know him

Physically, stood tall and erect, good posture at all times without seeming arrogant, well formed and good looking.
Emotionally, pleasant without being condescending, fair, considered all about him, (polite), aire of leadership, not of peasant stock, well educated and rounded. He radiated authority and command without being overbearing about it...came naturally to him. He had all the characteristics of a man others would follow into battle,

It just means noble birth. He was the son of Vivian Lady of the Lake.

He acts like a high class gentleman. He does stuff like honor women and keeps his word.
