Emergency: STRANDED! Key won't turn in ignition

[thstone]

How do I prevent this from happening in the future?

I always leave my steering wheel pointed straight ahead when I shut off the car to avoid the steering pressure from making the key difficult/impossible to turn (without moving the streering wheel to release the pressure on the key interlock).
