if you turn the wheel after you turn off the car and take the key out it locks the ignition. just jiggle the steering wheel and you will be able to turn. its happened to me before. Ramius83 is right.

The car is an auto, we tried putting it in N, P still nothing. Also did the steeringwheel movements...
Had the car towed to the dealer. I am way past warranty, so we'll see what they say.
