Lock Screen in Landscape?

So I watch videos while laying in bed a lot. You obviously want to watch the video in Landscape so you want the phone to orientate to your head not to gravity. I'm looking for a way to stick the screen so it goes into Landscape while in the Youtube app or whatever. If anyone could help it would be much appreciated.

[Q] Force counter-clockwise landscape mode on app

I run dailyroads voyager as dashcam. My sgs2 is seated in the carholder in the left corner of the front window, allowing the cables to be neatly stuffed away behind my doorrubbers.
But: this means I can only rotate the phone counter-clockwise. This is not supported by dailyroads voyager (or any other dashcam-app). They'll just display clockwise landscape, rendering the buttons etcetera upsidedown...
Is there any way to force counter clockwise? I read about it being implemented in some custom rom for another phone...

Anybody knows how to force counter-clockwise landscape?
I do hope someone replies here because I'd like the same thing. When I play games or hold the phone in landscape, my fingers usually end up covering the speaker. Forcing a counter-clockwise landscape orientation would be great. To the OP, I've looked around myself and haven't found anything.

Found it mentioned in Cyanogenmod... It is on it's way for the SGS2, so maybe if we wait just a little bit longer we can finally rotate counterclockwise (or left landscape versus right landscape, or 270 degrees, or whatever people call it).
Just can't be that hard, now can I it? Really no-one with an easy solution here?
Actually I would like to have 90 degrees landscape, I have by default 270 degrees rotation. This is annoyng because when I play games light sensor is in bottom left corrner. I put my finger over the light sensor and screen goes dark becasue my phone thinks that it is in the dark area. I don't know if I remember correctly but in the first run wizard it was set up. But I don't know where to change it now.
That's exactly what we want too... You're talking about the same

[Q] Force clockwise rotation for apps

Is anyone aware of a way to force apps to rotate clockwise (270 degrees) when in landscape?
Most games automatically rotate the screen counter-clockwise and when holding the phone my hands tend to muffle the speaker and block the light sensor, resulting in lowered screen brightness.
I've been searching around and there doesn't appear to be an app that can regulate which direction of landscape an app runs in. I'm sure other people have run into this issue when playing games, it feels like the light sensor and speaker were poorly placed if this is the only orientation the phone will play games in

I have the same problem. Most app are turning the landscape mode on the wrong side of the Galaxy S2: the speaker and light sensor are covered by your fingers resulting is little sound and little backlight.
