I suppose it’s like someone traveling a familiar road behind someone who is in unfamiliar territory and looking for the right street. Infuriating for the former and panic provoking for the later.
If you find yourself positioned in the wrong lane then just go straight, get in the left lane and make a U-turn at the next roundabout (go all the way around). Since you know you missed your turn you should be able to position yourself properly coming back. It's no different than being in the wrong lane at a 4 way intersection except that it's easier to correct the missed turn. A number of States are installing roundabouts to facilitate traffic flow, Pennsylvania is one of them.
