For my money, there wasn't a whole lot of pilot steering going on there.
Well, was my first thought as well, should have used the short period straight to recover for a planed emergency landing.
But on the second thought, being tossed into the harness during the first rotations, how much coolness is left to try to continue flying? May be seeing the carpark and aiming for it was all what she was able to do at that moment.

Will be an interesting accident report....
