It sounds like what you want is that if more than one
key is down at once, you move in the direction of the
*most recently* pressed key. Is that right?

To get that, you'll have to process key events, and
to be able to revert to a previous direction, you'll
have to keep a list of currently outstanding movement
requests in order of occurrence.

When you get a key-down event, add a token for the
corresponding direction to the end of the list. When
you get a key-up event, remove it from the list
wherever it is. Each tick, look at the last item in
the list to tell which direction to move in.
