If you're left foot forward, you have to kick out to the right and turn your bars to the right. Otherwise you won't be able to do it because your leg will get in the way of the bars turning

I agree with grumpySteve. I was like you and wanted to turn my bars the opposite way, but I tried doing it away from my front foot, and now they are way easier. You can still do them turning the other way, but in the air or right before, you'll have to back crank slightly to get your legs lined up correctly. It will probably feel pretty awkward at first, though. :/
