2000 Saturn SC1 IGNITION?

2000 Saturn SC1 Automatic 75000 miles

Sometimes after a short stop, for example to get gas my daughters car will not start. The battery is new, lights, etc. work, but no crank. We noticed the steering wheel does not automatically lock when the car is off and will not start at all if it is not locked. After waiting the car will eventually start.
