From what you said I think you must have a three valve tub and shower faucet. The center valve must not be put together back right. Take it out and before you put it back make sure that the seat of the stem is tight against the rubber washer, then when you screw it back in place maybe it will turn the water in the direction it should go.

As well as Letmetellus advice check the seat for nicks or rough spots.
If you find any then replace the seat. (see image).Good luck, tom
