Actually what is happening when you pull the distributor out is the drive gear on the cam is twisting the distributor shaft as the gears de-mate (they're helical). If you watched as you took it out and noted it's location, you could have started with the rotor pointing in the same direction as it was once it was removed and it would have slipped right in, no muss no fuss.
