So im not really sure what im doing wrong with my 360's but heres a vid +k for serious response. http://youtu.be/e1EAPsdXDZw
Sorry for no embeded.. on mobile.
if you watch it carefully, as you are at 180, you look down. this will put you off axis and make you land back seat. I do this too and the way i was told to not cork is to imagine a hola-hoop around your head and you must keep your vision on it at all times. Hope that helps. Good luck!

Turn your head sideways and not down. It may seem weird to not be able to see where you are spinning, but just open up at 270 and get a little more speed.
Thrown your arms a bit more and tuck them in right after you get off the ramp. This will help with the rotation and momentum. Helped me to lean forward just a bit aswell.
Keep your knees flexed forwards so they don't get in front of you. Also don't swing your arms to the right before you spin to the left because it doesn't help and it looks really bad.

This. Feels weird at first. Sometimes I even drop my head down from time to time and I do exactly what you'll do. Its an easy fix and they'll be smooth in no time!
You bet. YouTube the hell out of 360's. It will help if you can watch it, slow it down, rewind and play it over and over again. Technology is your b*tch. Use it.
Then get out there and get banged up shooting your own video. Take the video home and load it up side by side with a pro's video. You'll start to see even the most minor differences if you watch it in small, short 1-2 second segments.
What everyone said with the head, also keep your hands out of front, if you don't you will land backseat, try spinning a 360 on a fun box, if you don't make the full 360 slide it still means you are looking down, helped me when I first learned
