ImageView rotating when using imagePicker

Question

I have a table view and in the cell, there is an image and 2 labels. I am using imagePicker to choose a photo from my camera roll and putting that photo into the cell image. However, when the photo is a portrait mode photo, the image is rotated 90 degrees.

In the code below, posting is an outlet that connects to the imageview in the table view cell and I initialized a UIImagePickerController.

class MakePostVC: UIViewController, UIImagePickerControllerDelegate, UINavigationControllerDelegate {

@IBOutlet weak var postImg: UIImageView!
@IBOutlet weak var postTitle: UITextField!
@IBOutlet weak var postDescrip: UITextField!

var imgPicker: UIImagePickerController!

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    postImg.layer.cornerRadius = 30
    postImg.clipsToBounds = true

    imgPicker = UIImagePickerController()
    imgPicker.delegate = self

}

Here is my function for didFinishPickingImage:

func imagePickerController(picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingImage image: UIImage, editingInfo: [String : AnyObject]?) {
    imgPicker.dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)
    postImg.image = image
}

I've looked at similar posts here on SO but the solutions don't seem to work.
Any suggestions?

Thanks

Updated to Swift 5.3, iOS 14

Sunil Sharma's solution worked for me. Here is translated version to Swift 5

extension UIImage {
    var fixedOrientation: UIImage {
        guard imageOrientation != .up else { return self }
        
        var transform: CGAffineTransform = .identity
        switch imageOrientation {
        case .down, .downMirrored:
            transform = transform
                .translatedBy(x: size.width, y: size.height).rotated(by: .pi)
        case .left, .leftMirrored:
            transform = transform
                .translatedBy(x: size.width, y: 0).rotated(by: .pi)
        case .right, .rightMirrored:
            transform = transform
                .translatedBy(x: 0, y: size.height).rotated(by: -.pi/2)
        case .upMirrored:
            transform = transform
                .translatedBy(x: size.width, y: 0).scaledBy(x: -1, y: 1)
        default:
            break
        }
        
        guard
            let cgImage = cgImage,
            let colorSpace = cgImage.colorSpace,
            let context = CGContext(
                data: nil, width: Int(size.width), height: Int(size.height),
                bitsPerComponent: cgImage.bitsPerComponent, bytesPerRow: 0,
                space: colorSpace, bitmapInfo: cgImage.bitmapInfo.rawValue
            )
        else { return self }
        context.concatenate(transform)
        
        var rect: CGRect
        switch imageOrientation {
        case .left, .leftMirrored, .right, .rightMirrored:
            rect = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: size.height, height: size.width)
        default:
            rect = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: size.width, height: size.height)
        }
        
        context.draw(cgImage, in: rect)
        return context.makeImage().map { UIImage(cgImage: $0) } ?? self
    }
}
