Pictures of ringed planets are not usually rotated any more than this picture is. (Solar system pictures are typically rotated so that "up" is perpendicular to the ecliptic.) It's just that Saturn's (and Neptune's) axial tilt is fairly moderate (27° and 28° respectively) while Uranus is unique in having a tilt of almost 100°.
