It depends on which version of the firmware you have. If you have the most recent version, double-click the home button to bring up the multi-tasking menu. Slide the multi-tasking menu bar to the right. The screen orientation icon is on the far left and looks like an arrow going around in a circle. If there is a padlock icon in the middle of the circle, that means the iPad's orientation is locked. Tap the icon to unlock it. You can re-lock the orientation by tapping this icon again.

If you have the older version of the firmware, the orientation lock is a physical switch that's next to the volume control button on the side of the iPad. In the new firmware this switch was changed to work as a mute button.

The slide switch next to the volume rocker can either be a mute or an orientation lock. The Settings - General section allow you to choose what it does.

You can assign the mute switch to be an auto-rotation turn off in the Setting menu.
