Lifting wheels won't help very much but try jiggling and swearing again (I'm not kidding). YOu have to do this while you try and turn the key. Get some one to help you. If you pull har to one side the lock shoudl release. I had this happen and it took a while. THe other option, and it is not the desired choice, is to attempt to remove the lock, and I would avoid this at all costs.

: Has happened once before, 1976 '02 parked and could not turn on ignition- wheels locked, steering locked. Rolled it a bit and it released. Has happened again but parked with wheels turned, can roll but wheels won't straighten- ignition locked- key will not turn. Have jiggled, pushed, kicked and cursed but it is LOCKED. Any ideas. Have heard it is a 'bug' w/ some '02's. Will jacking the front up and manually trying to straighten the wheels work?? Please answer as soon as possible?
