Default Key won't budge

Hey guys was working on my car and had to move the wheels so I tried turning the steering wheel w/o the key in it and the steering wheel locked up. I grabbed my keys to unlock it but now the key won't move at all. I unhooked the battery to reset it but no luck. I have an aftermarket keyless remote entry, could that be an issue? I unlocked/lock about 10 times but no luck. Any ideas?

Probably because there is some weight on your steering, try waggling the steering wheel hard in each direction at the same time you turn the key. Careful not to exert any more force than normal on the key, you don't want it to snap.
