Actually, try placing the rail like this:

[Dirt/Cobble/Whatever][Powered Rail][Powered Rail]

Basically if a minecart is sitting on a powered rail, and there's a block obstructing it's path in one direction, when the rail is turned on it WILL move the opposite direction of the solid block. You basically need to tell the track that there's only one direction the cart can travel.

This would be much easier to explain if I was on my own computer now.. If this doesn't make sense, I'll upload screenshots later.
