The bottom line is, as far as I know, and I could be wrong, I don't think you can have a US store account, if you're in the UK. To the best of my knowledge, it will automatically route you to the store in your country.
It will automatically route you to your local store, but it is possible to set up accounts in other stores. You need to have a billing address in that country, which usually means a credit card in that country. We managed to set us both up accounts in the Australian iTunes store, partly because the Israeli store only sells apps, and partly because we wanted to be able to purchase Australian music without paying shipping.
I have, however, also heard of some people, usually users of the US store, who are unable to access it from some overseas destinations. I believe the Apple terms of service say that they can use IP-location stuff to block access to stores based on geography, but I've never experienced it personally. But I have found postings from people who have.
If you want to try to use a store not where you are, you can change which store you're using near the bottom of the HTML area in iTunes.
