spacebar -> normal to

I use the "spacebar -> normal to" frequently when making models.  Sometimes when I do this, the model flips around or rotates 180 degrees (i guess depending on plane orientation).  Is there any way to not make solidworks do this?  When I want to start a sketch on a surface, I normally rotate the part so its around 90% normal to the screen, then use the normal to button. 

Thanks
