I think everyone encounters rotating picks when they begin playing mandolin. In my case the pick stopped rotating naturally after a couple months of dedicated playing. Here's a solution if it bothers you.
In the printing trade some very small shops may still hand feed paper into small presses. Fingers are often not sticky enough to gently grasp one sheet of paper off a stack of paper and feed it into and out of the press.They learned that a little sand paper glued (or taped) to the index finger (or middle finger) will grasp any paper securely with a minimum of effort.
In our case a small piece of sand paper glued to the pick with rubber cement will prevent the pick from rotating between your fingers. And the pick will not slide out of your grip.
