Is it normal to experience occasionally getting stuck in portrait mode? I am not sure if it is an iOS 8 glitch or a phone glitch. Restarting the phone seems to get it "unstuck".

Just shake it!:D It happens to me too and hopefully the fix is coming with 8.1 on Monday.
 
Same issue. Don't turn off your phone. Just go to control center and quickly toggle the screen rotation lock on and off. It's a quick fix... But shouldn't be necessary.
 
It sounds like a software issue and not a hardware issue, glad others are experiencing the same. Ready for 8.1!
