Hello - 'orientation freezing' has been reported w/ certain iPads and may in part be related to the iOS installed, so first question is which iOS is installed on your device; if not the most recent, then an update/upgrade may help - I have an iPad Air 2 on iOS 10.1.1.
Second, if not already done, try a 'Reset' (hold down both the ON-OFF & HOME buttons until the Apple logo appears - may take about 10 secs - then release and let your iPad reboot - no data, settings, or apps will be lost). Dave

My iPad Air 2 had the same problem and restarting it solved the problem. It's currently on iOS 10.2 beta 2 which could make a difference.OK - try the 'Reset' if not already done and let us know - good luck.
Thanks, restarting does help.

Yesterday, my iPad Air 2 was stuck in 'landscape' orientation - did a 'Restart' w/ immediate correction. Dave
Did any of the solutions offered in the thread work for you?

Like the others, my iPad Air 2 (IOS10.2) has also suffered from sticking rotation. It has happened twice in the last fortnight, usually after a longish period of inactivity. A power-off and restart has cured it so far. Is anyone aware if Apple are looking into a cure?

The rotational sticking seems to be a common complaint - HERE is a discussion from about 6 months ago - for myself, my iPad Air 2 continues to get stuck in 'landscape mode' several times a week - I just use the ON-OFF switch for correction which has always worked. Interestingly, if I switch to an app w/ only portrait view the orientation is correct but reverts to the 'stuck' landscape view when stopping the app. Dave
