I have an 1997 Lexus ES300 and the steering wheel and ignition locked up on me. I have tried all the tricks I've seen on the internet but none of them worked. Please help, I don't know what to do.

What have you tried exactly? Does the car start and run?

No I can't get it to turn on, the ignition is locked up. I tried pulling the steering wheel hard in both directions and trying to turn the key. I tried disconnecting the battery for a while then triying the key again but nothing.

Have someone rock the car back and forth, while you try to unlock the ignition by turning the steering wheel as you did.
Also, do you have another key you can try ?
