Narrative:

While performing a go-around from the ILS 1 approach into dca; ATC gave us missed approach instructions to climb to 3;000 feet and make a left heading to 280 degrees. The climb and left turn were started; and to help alleviate the very high task saturation; I had the autopilot activated. However; the heading bug was still set on a right heading; so the aircraft began to turn back to the right. Tower asked us to confirm that we were executing the left turn to 280 and; and I quickly realized the issue and turn the aircraft back towards the original 280 heading and confirmed with ATC that we were again steering towards a 280 degree heading. Nothing else happened after this time.
