Not sure if this will help.  The ignition key/lock on my '98 BMW does the
same thing on occasion and I think it's just when the steering wheel has
"pressure" against it.  Turning the steering wheel so it isn't up against
the lock mechanism then allows the key to work.

I have a Stag/Buick that I want to sell to help fund the racing budget, but
the steering wheel lock is engaged and won't release, even when I turn the
key on and off multiple times.  Short of knocking out the lock mechanism,
does anyone know any tricks to get it free.  I have the key and it turns
freely, but nothing releases.  I don't have a battery in the car but I
can't imagine electricity is required for the lock mechanism.  I'm guessing
the lock is the same on all the TRs so hopefully someone has experienced
this and fixed it. Any ideas?  Thanks, Don
