Staking an amalanchia

I have a three year old tree growing in my NNE facing front garden.  My problem is that when we get a northerly wind it bounces off the wall of the house and pushes the tree away from the building.  My partner and I cannot agree as to the best way of staking it to (a) bring it upright again and (b) prevent further leaning.  Any thoughts anyone?

    I had the same problem in my windy garden and the swaying back and forth loosened the root ball and in the end I had to remove the tree.
    I only had one stake at an angle.
    Another tree was also getting blown around so we put  tree stakes, the round sort, either side with a piece of wood across and tied the tree back to that.
    In hindsight should have done that with the Amelchanier
