You can do it, but it's actually harder than just going around the corners. If you have a lot of problems going around the corners, either go to a quilter's day at your LQS and get personalized instruction OR look online for binding videos to improve your technique. I get it. I am learning to apply both sides of the binding by machine because I can't do it by hand very well anymore. It doesn't just take practice, it takes having someone show you HOW to do it right.
As mentioned, practice on potholders.
Honestly though, nobody, and I mean nobody, that I have given quilts to have ever noticed how screwy my corner bindings are. It's just me.
Also, no matter what I or anybody else says, unless you are trying to enter the quilt into a show, do what YOU like and can do well.
