My understanding is that the missed approach procedure cannot start
until the MAP is reached. Now here's my stupid question- what if I
royally screw up the approach early on i.e. get full scale deflection
on the the VOR/localizer; should I keep going and hope I can find the
MAP or is there something else I should do?

Climb. Altitude is your friend. Especially close to the ground when
you're not sure where you are. You can start to climb at any time. What
you can't do is make a turn before the procedure says you can.

Step 1 - Get some altitude.

Then try to get as close to the MAP as you reasonably can, and then
fly the missed procedure.
