I put my eggs on lock down for hatching in an egg carton. I set the like I would in the turner with big end up. Is that right!
 
Actually, I would take away the carton and just lay the eggs on their sides free-style in the incubator.

Yes, big end up. I've had great luck with hatching them in egg cartons if I've cut away most of the carton to allow for ventilation. In fact, that's how they have to hatch in my fully packed Brinsea incubator. Best wishes.

Note: My broody hens, on the other hand, seem to find it much more comfortable when the eggs are in a horizontal position.

Yep, big end up.

I like laying them on their sides, but if you've got a still air and your eggs are coming out of a turner, you need to keep them at the same height that they were at in the turner or you'll have a huge temperature difference. Welcome to BYC!
