1999 Dodge Durango 75000 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
Pulled into parking space and took out of 4H into 2WD and parked. Slid a little on ice so front tires were touching curb, turned it off and went inside. Came back out, and steering wheel is locked and when I put key in ignition it won't let me turn it to start vehicle. Have tried "rocking" vehicle but also moving steering wheel slightly to see if it was problem with wheel in bad position. Nothing. Can't start it, had to leave it sit. Don't want to tow it , wheels are turned so costs even more to load it completely onto a truck. What can I do to unlock it and drive away? Is this possibly a 4WD to 2WD shift problem, or is it simpler than that? Thanks a ton for your help.

your steering wheel lock mechanism is locked too far im guessing since u slightly hit the curb. this needs professional assistance.
