Default Steering wheel lock problem

Hola everyone.

I have what's most likely a stupid question/problem. I purchased a 92 SC3 as a project car, and have been working on it little by little. I've pretty much ripped the whole entire out mines the steering wheel, and have recently acquired a garage (apartment complex). My battery died a few weeks ago, and haven't bothered to replace it since I have not been using any power in the car.

So now I want to move my car into the garage by pushing it, but I've run into a snag. The steering wheel is locked. On my other car its generally a yank of the wheel while turning the ignition and pressing the brake frees it, but I can't turn the ignition on the Lexus anymore. Is there any reason for this, or a bypass to unlock the wheel so I can get this car pushed in?

Try turning the wheel while turning the key in the ignition, sometimes the wheel lock keeps the key from turning, you should be able to move the wheel a tiny bit which generally will free up the ignition.
