Double tap the home button to bring up multitasking bar, then slide to the left, and to the left of the music controls there is a padlock. Tap the padlock and it will unlock rotation lock.
You set the rotation lock in Settings/General/Use Side Switch...
So if you are using the Side Switch for rotation lock, flip the switch the other way. Otherwise press the Home button twice to reveal the open apps and swipe left to right to reveal the alternate location for the rotation lock.
