Ruling

K can advance the ball because the ball was recovered behind the neutral zone regardless of the muff. The kick has not ended until a team secures posession or the ball is dead by rule.

For this example K would have the ball 1st and 10 on the 15. The reason for the 1st down is the muff.

If they would have punted on 3rd down and ther was no muff, then I assume it would be the next down because they did not get to the 1st down marker.
