Cumulative rotation - confusing me a little

Hopefully someone can point my brain in the right direction with this.
I have an actor, and when I hold a button down, I am getting it to rotate.
Once I let go of the button, I then want the actor to level out (sideways)..this works out as -90 (or 270) degrees.
This is all well and good if I only do a single rotation and let go, and it looks great.
When I hold the button for a number of rotation though, the rotation seens to be cumulative though. So when I let go of the button, and I tell the actor to go back to the level -90 degrees, it spins back round however many rotations I did untill it gets back there rather then just going back to the nearest version of being levelled out.
Is there a funky maths way of doing this.. or will I have to stick a load of "if" statements in my level out rule.
so
if rotation < -360 then rotate to -90
if rotation <-720 then rotate to -450
and so on and so forth
etc etc

My initial rotation is just using "rotate". But my "come out of rotation" rule was using an interpolate.
Replaced that with a rotate to angle, and all is well with the world
I find sometimes it's hard not to over think a problem.
