I was taught to bank the plane into the landing, so the upwind wing is low and the nose wheel and plane is pointed straight down the runway.

It does mean cross controls with rudder pushed one way and ailerons the other, which may be a no-no in some circles, but if done just before touchdown at low speed it keeps you pointed straight down the runway.

One main touches down first, but the plane isn’t at an angle to the runway when you touch down.
