I was always under the impression that the "flat" spools were laid down either label up or label down, and that the larger cylinder spools should have a pencil through the holes and the line should come off "the same way it goes onto the spool", which I was never really able to figure out what that meant. I'd flip them around and it always seemed to twist.
What I've been doing for many years, and seems to work well, is fill a bucket or large saucepan with water, chuck the spool in it, and begin filling. The spool will flip around in the water until it goes the way it "wants to" without twisting. The water also provides a little tension and helps keep the line cool as I run it between my fingers with a leather glove to provide additional tension.
