Help please!

Please help!
I have a quail chick that needed help out of its egg as it had been pipped with no progress for a day and a half and had become shrink wrapped in. I removed some shell and it pushed out so I left it in the incubator to dry. When I left it it was okay and moving around in the incubator like the rest had done. But when I went to check on it later in the day its leg was stuck straight out in a funny position and it will not bend it. I left it alone until the next day (today) as I assumed it would come right over night but checking this morning it hasn't and it still hasn't dried. I don't know what to do as its not drying and its leg looks like its in a backwards position and I don't know how to help.
Could it have injured its leg in some way in the incubator or could it have splayed legs but in just one leg?
Please help!

Here is a photo of the chick for reference,

It's covered in albumen (egg white).

I would get a cup of warm water and have a soft cotton wash rag or paper towel handy. Place the chick in the cup and use the rag to gently wipe it over, ensuring that you wipe its face to clear its nostrils. This should only take a minute. Pat dry the chick with dry towel or paper towel, and you can blow-dry it on low being careful not to get it too hot. Then, put the chick back in the incubator, turned down to 95°F (provided there are no other viable eggs in there. If so, leave it at 99.5°F).

After it dries, it will be able to move around now so you'll see if that leg goes back to normal. If not, and it stays, you'll need to bind the legs with a strip of vet wrap.

Thank you very much, this is very helpful and I will do that now. Is there a certain temperature the water should be or just warm? There are two other eggs but it is day 20 now and there has been no movement so I think they have died.

Just warm, about the same temp the chick is, or if you have a thermometer, 95-99F is good.

Thank you this definitely helped, he is a lot dryer now. His leg hasn't improved but he is really trying to move around with his other but he can't stand. He can move the joint connecting his leg but his knee joint seems to be stuck out in place.
This is what he looks like now,
