Yea, with the key in the ignition, just rock the steering wheel back and forth, from left to right, and it will "wiggle" loose...

Same thing happened to me over the weekend, but my wheels were turned all the way - therefore, i couldn't turn the steering wheel what so ever to unlock it. I ended up pulling on the tire, trying to turn it more than the steering wheel would allow, and had my wife turn the key at the same time. Worked like a charm.

my friends rover did this and we just battled with it for an hour and it finally came loose. just turn it in the direction it allows and jiggle with the key. my advice to you, just dont give up.
