In strong winds if the prop is spinning the other way, nothing wrong with someone holding it steady with one hand till its ready to turn itself.
In strong wind with the prop spinning the other way you should have turned the aircraft into the wind to reduce the chance of a hot start.
Basic stuff for PT-6A endos.
