Default help! never driven a honda, friend's car won't start

My friend dropped off his car this morning so i could replace the brake fluid and master cylinder gasket for him, which i did without a problem...but now, I can't get the damned thing to start - there's no manual in the car, and i know this is the epitome of ignorance as far as honda's are concerned, but the key won't turn...It's an auto, in park, parking brake on. help would be appreciated, so i can get it out of my driveway. thanks.

Is the battery dead?

steering wheel locked.

Turn the wheel while you turn the key

No the battery's not dead, the key just won't turn. He drove it to my house just a few hours ago, it was working fine, battery and all - I just need to know what I need to go to get the key to turn.
