Ignition key

Went to start my 1999 XK8 and the key would go in the ignition and the steering wheel would retract, but was unable to turn the key to start or accessory.
Battery seems to be up, I locked and unlocked the car with the key with no change. Put a charger on, but don’t expect that to help. Does this have anything to do with the alarm system?

You were 100% right. I’ve never had the steering wheel lock issue on this car before (have had it for 9 years), it’s a 70 foot straight drive into my garage. I’ve had that experience on my other cars in the past, but always when I’ve made a sharp turn prior to shutting off and I’ve always moved the wheel back and forth to unlock.
🤦🏼♂️ Thank You for pointing out what should have been obvious to me.
