for starters..

misty = thrown forwards
corks = thrown backwards

i think you maybe confusing misty's with rodeos.

step one, spin left
step two, throw your right arm up as you whip it around and drop your left shoulder down
step three, tuck your head to your left shoulder and wrap up into a ball
step four, you do the hokey pokey and you bring yourself around, that's what the corks all about!

try throwing a three sixty and land on your back, then once you add air to that rotation and throw it harder youll come around

i had this exact problem for a long time. its a hard habit to break, but it can be done. so when u set it, your probably looking under your armpit, when you should be looking over your shoulder. try this, do some 360s and toss them backwards so that you land on your back. get the feel for that, then when you wanna do the cork 7 just set it the exact same way, but a little harder and tuck into a ball, it should come right around

yeah the 3 to back thing worked for me. try it with a misty. like do half a misty and land on your back then just do it with a 180 added. then do that exact thing with more bounce
