Is there any quick fix for this problem ? i tried to play it in my laptop via vlc player and it still it rotated 90 degrees to left when playing it on my PC.I prefer a solutions that doesn't requiring re trans-coding.

You must mean rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise. Yes, if your laptop has HDMI or DVI output you can hook it up to your TV and use VLC to rotate the frame during playback.

Add the rotate filter and set it to 90 or 270 degrees. Tools -> Preferences (enable All button at bottom left) -> Video -> Filters -> Rotate.

Some containers support rotation options but it's not likely the player in a TV would respond to that. You'll have to reencode the video after rotating.
