On my Olds Cutlass Supreme (1194), if you turn the wheel too hard to the right or left, it locks, you have to put your foot on the brake and press it - whiel turning the wheel still - to release it.

I found this out by accident. After spending about $300 getting the ignition lock replaced as I thought it was the key that was frozen (it also wouldn't come out with the wheel locked). The dealer in this case was much more helpful than the private car repair place. It was right before they discontinued the Oldsmobile line. A very annoying problem. Hope this helps.
