Is there a quick fix for this? or just leave it? its on about a 30 degree angle.

Deflate the tube, loosen the rimlock, rotate the tyre on the rim until the valve is at rightangles, tighten rimlock, reinflate.
Fairly simple.
You know what happens if you leave it, eh?
Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?
or you could leave it and rip the valve off
Wot MSTRS said....just check why this has happened and it's probably that your tyre has rotated on the rim so check your rimlock is clamping the tyre tightly after you finish straightening things out.
I've never bothered fixing them when they're sideways and have never ripped a valve off.... But for how easy it is I guess it's worth doing.....
I'll need to pop it off the rim where it locks in though? I think my mistake was not using soapy water when putting the tyre on.....
Just undo the rim lock and bang it inwards a bit.... This should give you enough room to drag the tire round a little (may take a bit of tugging)
loosen rim lock deflate tyre bike on ground use brake and push bike in direction the staightens up valve
