Not quite sure what you're asking. It sounds like your column locked on your when you went to start it. I would get a column lock bypass asap.

It *shouldn't* lock while you're driving, but I have seen a few messages from other forum members here saying differently.

Regardless, get that bypass and be done with it. If it locks again and you can't unlock it, it's a tow to the dealer. The bypass won't help you at that point.
