have you tried putting the key in, wiggling it whilst wiggling the lock part on the column?

Isn't there some sort of latch thing that gets pushed in when the steering column moves to unlock the steering lock...I can't remember!!! The latch is the lock...this is like a flippin riddle, just a thought...
