Need more information. Are you saying that you're travelling eastbound on 50 towards Fairfax City? There is plenty of signage to let you know which lanes to be in whether you're going onto 66 (eastbound, westbound, HOT lanes, etc) or ... staying on 50 eastbound. In general stay, in the far right lane when there are just the 3 lanes before you start to pass Fair Oaks Mall and keep going straight.
