My Car does not start, not able to turn my key

Rock your wheel a bit as your turn your key...

I often rent car with Enterprise. I have always been happy with their service and their car conditions. No big complaints till now.

I am not an expert in car and also not a very regular user of car.... so this problem seemed a bit panicky to me... though it was just a common and simple problem. I had to call enterprise and they had to come and start the car.

My problem was my car was not starting. I was not able to turn my keys. It seemed all locked up. I thought there is some major problem with the ignition, but then later realised that the car wheel locks itself if you switch off and remove the keys with torque still remaining in the wheels. Its a sort of a Safety feature which locks the steering wheel and thus you are not able to turn the key to start the car. What I had to do was, just to insert the key turn it and also turn the steering wheel a bit to just loosen it.... thats it, you should be able to turn the key and start the car.... It was that simple... but i was ignorant about it, so had to call my car company to come and help me.... was a bit embarrasing... but also learnt something new and how to solve another car common problem....
