What's the problem? If you can get the key to turn after turning the steering wheel one way or another than all is normal. When locked a bolt is extended into the steering column, if there is no pressure on the bolt i.e. the steering column is not turned after the bolt is extended then the bolt will withdraw without problems next time you turn the key. If any torque was applied to the steering column during or after the extension of the bolt it will bind enough to prevent the key from turning and withdrawing the bolt. Turn the wheel to remove the tension and the key will turn.
That being said there are real problems that can arise to make turning the key difficult or impossible... my experience is detailed here:
