Svx Steering Locked..????

[GOT2HAVESVX]

OK I drove my car to work today and everything was fine. I came home and parked it in the driveway and when I went back out about 7 hours later when I tried to start it I couldnt turn the key and the wheel was locked way past (like 1/4 turn) where it usually is. I tried a few times and wiggled the wheel and it finally sprung loose and I started it.
Can anybody tell me what might have happened and if its something bad?

Try turning the wheel a little and the key will then turn.

Most cars are like this.

It wasnt like "most cars" though. I have drove quite a few in my years of driving but this wasnt the same. It was locked way past the normal position that it usually is. Just thought it might be something I havent read about a SVX, guess it was just something weird. Thanks for replying...

make sure the vehicle is in park, mine wasnt one time

Parked on an incline? Could it have rolled a little back to bind it 1/4 more?

Theres a slight grade all the way down my driveway and it levels off before you pull into the garage, maybe thats what it was, it was definately in more of a bind then its supposed to be, I have had a lot of cars, (including 2 drag cars) but since this car is so much different then anything Ive owned, I thought I would ask. Now, I am going to change the oil to a castrol synthetic and maybe start some body work, the shop should be open in the next week or 2 so I can get it painted! YAY
