Do you mean it leaves the edge of the window by flying backwards? If so, check that it isn't being oversheeted and stalling. You can correct this by pulling in some trim strap before unhooking to ensure that the angle of attack isn't too great when unhooked.
C kiters don't face this problem because their kites can't change their angle of attack anywhere near as much.

Surprisingly the fact that you can stall a bow kite out while flying it in a horizontal position makes it pretty damn good for tricks. You unhook, and it just parks itself... if you have the trim right.
