Need to move the vehicle like about 30-50 ft but have lost the keys to it. Will need to steer it when able to push it but the steer wheel is locked. Can you please help?

There is no way to steering car without having the steering unlocked unless you use a jack to lift the front if you are on pavement that has worked for us. If not, we need to unlock the steering. You can disconnect the transmission cable and put the car in neutral. This video will show you how:
