Are you using a phone or tablet? Flip it over and take the photo with your other hand. It could be that the phone (or tablet) is storing orientation data with the image rather than rotating it before storage and then that information is being disregarded.
Or, again with a phone or tablet, are you taking the photo of the object on a flat surface and you're tipping the phone slightly away from yourself - enough to make the phone think it's the other way up to what you think it is.
Or ghosts.
Or something else.

Tell us what you're using to post - if phone or tablet, the answer above may help, I dunno, because I don't use either.
If you're using a desktop pc, use photo editing software first - eg, Picasa, Firestone Image Viewer, Irfan View or something similar; export it to a file from which you can download, and ensure your portrait scale pictures are in portrait format, your landscape scale pictures are in landscape format, and off you go.
There are other answers on the forum to this question if you search about for a bit: as you've discovered, you can't put the alignment right once you've posted here: all you can do is remove it, and try again.
If you keep having this trouble, contact Dawn Farley, the website manager, who may be able to help - her contact link can be found under the Contact button, the envelope device at the top right hand of the screen.
