Key won't turn the ignition over, the steering wheel is locked.

What is your question?

Key won't turn the ignition over, the steering wheel is locked and gear shift will not move out of park. I have tried, wd40, I have tried pulling on the steering wheel while trying to turn it on. I have two keys with key fobs, neither of them will turn the ignition over. The batteries are good in both. No bends in the keys.

What makes this problem better or worse?

Nothing
