A300 flight crew reports momentary loss of control when thrust is increased for takeoff with the aircraft still turning to line up with rubber and deice fluid making the runway slippery. The takeoff is rejected at low speed and the second attempt is successful.

Narrative:
Entering the runway for takeoff lost directional control when toga selected. Immediately terminated the takeoff. Ran all appropriate checklists. Did not note anything wrong with aircraft. Decided to attempt second takeoff (fuel and brake temps fine). When turning onto runway the second time the wheels started skidding due to rubber build up and moisture. This time ensured wheels were aligned perfectly with centerline; moved forward a little further; ran power manually to 40% to ensure engines came up to speed symmetrically and flew uneventful takeoff. Make note of rubber reversion and other factors that may affect an intersection takeoff. Ensure proper alignment before running up the power.
