Car wont start, key won't turn?! help asap.

My car wont start. I was cleaning the inside with the car turned off and the sunroof and windows down. I also turned the wheel while the car was in park to straighten out the wheels. I go to start the car, the wheel feels if it has locked up and wont turn, I try to turn the key to start the car, and the key doesnt turn at all. Anyone know whats up, or what might be wrong. It's probably something stupid, it just pisses me off because its getting dark outside and I can't roll up my windows.. soooo if anyone has any thoughts, let me know asap.

u've never had ur wheel lock before? you should be able to jiggle the wheel a bit while ur trying to turn the key, hard to explain... be careful of course and dont force anything but it shouldnt be to hard to get it..

Ive had it lock once or twice. I just turned the wheel and started the car like a friend sugested, it started. I didn't know the car wouldn't start if the wheel was locked though. weird.
