Default I think I've screwed up my car big time!!!

Ok, it must not be my day today. After getting my electrical probs fixed, I had parked my car at home. Then I tried to shoot a pic of my car. So I moved the wheel in order to position my bad-*** rims well. Get this: I did not put my key in the ignition keyhole thingy and put it to the ON position. Wierd thing is that the wheels moved, up to a point. Then I wanted to turn it further, so I put the key in. But the darn key wouldn't turn to the right! I can't start my car!

Ok, so I did this to myself. :slap in the noggin: I need help here. What shall I do?

You've just activated the keylock/steering wheel lock feature. Pull the wheel hard left, then turn the key. If that doesn't work, pull the wheel hard right, then turn the key. When the steering wheel locks, you can't turn the key
