Does this car HAVE a steering wheel locking mechanism so the wheel will not turn with the key out?

Hello,

The steering wheel lock is controlled by the ignition switch. Here are diagrams to help you change the ignition lock out and so you can see how the lock works. There is a small rectangle metal pin that pushes outward to lock the steering wheel.

Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

Cheers
