Press numblock-7 in blender in object mode.
Now the centaur should look directly at you (along the z-axis).
You should see it from the front.
Seen from the to the centaur should be at the center position.
This is the way it should be exported.

If this is not the case, go to edit mode( or object mode) and rotate your model to fix it.

In general:
y-axis(green) is for vertical
x-axis(red) is for the horizontal
z-axis is for depth

( I hope i used the right english words here )

I know this effect in blender, but I don't know how to fix it in 3dsmax.
Try to find a mode where you can select/turn all together (skeleton and model).

It depends on how you made the mesh, but at least for me once I animated the unit I group everything (mesh, bones, and IK at once) and can rotate the group freely, just never ungroup it while in its new rotation because it will distort everything. I generally do this because I always make my models in the wrong direction. It doesn't always work because for some unknown reason sometimes max wont let u group iks to other things. Try that.
