Default 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.

What do i do?

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.

GET THOSE PICS UP! If the car looks good, we'll forgive you.
