Android studio is too slow and I am not able to use back, home, option keys. And I am also not able to rotate emulator.How can I improve the performance of the emulator and can use the all keys and rotation feature???

Android Studio and Emulator are different tools. You can use each other independent of one another.
Emulator is slow and most of the times unusable. See a post by Jake Wharton on emulators Android needs a simulator.
For the time being you can use Genymotion or use your own device to debug.

You can use Genymotion too.

It runs using Virtual Box. Should be fast enough.

For the speed, it is kind've dependent on your system specs, but give this a try http://jolicode.com/blog/speed-up-your-android-emulator
As for rotation, try these:
Mac: ctrl + fn + f12
Windows: left ctrl + f12
Linux: ctrl + f12
