rotating an ellipse's tangents "solved"

Hi, i am wondering, what would be the best way to rotate an ellipse? I mean more precisely rotate what would be a circle, but be perceived to be an ellipse due to vantage point of the viewer.
Thing is, the user will drag the ellipse but only rotate arond its center. the problem is when rotating an ellipse the movement will seem warped. I need it to so each point on the ellipses tangent will be at the same position always, with in the tangents self space, but that same point can be anywhere in the 360 degrees of any tangent on the ellipse.
