Low 'n' slow,

I was taught roll in to a headwind with the column back but roll out of a tailwind with the column forward. The rationale of this is that if you have a quartering tailwind the column turned to the opposite direction and forward would deflect both the into-wind aileron and the elevator downwards presenting the upper control surfaces to the prevailing wind, thus preventing the wind from that side from getting under them.
