Default Steering wheel locked and ignition won't turn

I was going to change the headlight on my sister's 2007 HHR and since you have to remove the plastic wheel well liner I thought I would turn the wheel in to get some more room. But like a dummy I turned the wheel with it off thinking I can move it like on my 2003 Silverado, but now the wheel is locked and the ignition switch is pushed in! What can I do?

turn the steering wheel and hold it...to put some tension on the steering lock linkage...with tension on the wheel....you should be able to turn the key. try both directions
