This might help (you may need to do the part I've highlighted in red towards the bottom first):

INITIALIZATION

1. INITIALIZE SLIDING ROOF DRIVE GEAR SUBASSEMBLY

NOTICE:

When replacing the sliding roof drive gear, the sliding roof drive gear requires initialization. If a reset is not executed, the following functions do not operate: auto operation and key off operation.

(a) Turn the ignition switch on (IG).

(b) Make sure that the sliding roof is fully closed.

(c) Push and hold the CLOSE switch or the UP switch until the following movement finishes: Tilt up → approximately 1 second → tilt down → slide open → slide closed.

(d) Check that the sliding roof stops at the fully closed position.

(e) Finish the initialization.

(f) Check that the AUTO operation works normally.

NOTICE:

If the following conditions occur during initialization procedure, initialization will fail.

• Ignition switch is turned off.

• Sliding roof control switch is released while sliding roof is operating.

• Vehicle speed is 5 km/h (3 mph) or more.

• Communication is cut off.

• Another switch is turned on during initialization.

• The vehicle experiences a strong vibration during initialization, such as the slamming of a door.

HINT:

• If the sliding roof cannot be fully closed or its position has become misaligned, perform initialization again.

• If the roof glass stops moving or starts moving in the opposite direction while the CLOSE or UP switch is held down, continue to hold the switch for another 10 seconds or more to return the sliding roof control ECU to an uninitialized condition. Then perform the initialization procedure again.

• If the AUTO operation function and jam protection function do not operate after the drive gear has been reset, replace the sliding roof drive gear (sliding roof ECU).

Mine messes up every once in a while but it hasn't happened to me in a long time.

I'm assuming you mean when you open the Moonroof halfway upwards, right? Sorry i can't explain it any better, english isn't my first language. If that is indeed what is happening then you can use this method to shut it: Don't use the auto function. Manually flick the switch bit by bit until you close it completely. And i mean BIT BY BIT, small tiny flicks.

And if you want to reset to factory default here's a trick the Toyota guy showed me: Flip the switch that opens your moonroof completely and keep holding it until it's open fully, then keep holding it for 5 seconds. Then Do the exact opposite with closing, hold for 5 seconds. Apparently this is the way it's done.
