try turning the steering wheel one way or the other. if may take a lot of effort depending on how tight the wheels are when the steering wheel locked

Hi Jaguareddie,

Welcome to the Chevy Forums.

Are you parked facing upward on a hill or in a driveway? Sometimes the pressure of the weight of the car binds against the trans shifter and steering column, on the heavier automatics. Get a friend or two to push the car upward just an inch or two while you wiggle the steering wheel free.
