Car Locked Up **Help
Ok so i was trying to take a new picture of my car and it wasent turned on and i needed one of the front wheels turned more so i tryed to turn it (without the car on, which i know now was not a smart thing to do) and everything is now locked up as far as pushing in the brake, starting it and what not.

I'm guessing you tried jiggling the steering wheel when you turned the key?

I will second ONEJAY on his suggestion. Also try turning the steering wheel toward straight while turning the key. Turning the key may be hard. I have seen this happen more than once to me and a few others.
