Off the top of my head:
1) For a rear-wheel only slide, and if there's a significant amount of rear-end step-out, early enough that a tank-slapper doesn't get started because of the amount of countersteer required to catch the initial movement;
2) Very quickly; and,
3) With just the right amount of countersteer.
That will fix the 360 problem; whether it arrests the slide in the manner you wish is something else - sometimes you have to get creative with the controls. For example, it's possible for your car to pick up speed while it's in a major four-wheel slide, even when it's on a level section of track; in that case, and if the slide is going to take you off the track, it may be time for two feet in, or some brake and then throttle...whatever works. Obviously, learning this stuff on a race track is a bit dicey - that's why karting, autocross, rally school, winter car control school, etc. are there.
