If you're using MLcad, there should be a toolbar with six circular arrow buttons
in it. Those arrow bottons will rotate the part along all three axes. The
arrows are modeled according to the top-view (default lower left frame), where
the left pair of arrows will roll it along a horizontal axis, the right pair
will rotate it on a vertical axis, and the middle pair will spin it flat on the
screen. Just make sure you have the right part selected before you start
hitting the rotate buttons.

It's all a matter of when someone wants it bad enough to program it in. There's
a noticable shortage of painted parts compared to what has been officially
released, even though the shapes are already there, and minifigs are no
exception. I get the idea that most of the part designers are interested in
building new shapes instead of adding various skins to them.
