EVERYone needs to know that the WHEEL DOESN'T LOCK UNTIL THE KEY IS REMOVED.


Every car/truck I've had with a locking column, has a position where the key can be removed and once in that position the wheel will lock whether the key is in or out. Some even had an extra button to push to get the key in that position.
