I'm having this issue as well. My key will not turn into the 1 position, and my steering wheel locked up from my efforts. Thanks to everyone that's posted guides, pics, and fix info.
I've got all my panels removed, and I've drilled a healthy chunk out of the (*******) locking pin. It is still there, however it's now around midnight and I think my neighbors would like to stop listening to the sweet sounds of my drill. I've got it to the point that I can turn the key enough to release the wheel lock, but I still can't get the key into the 1 spot. Any thoughts on that? Is it perhaps that I simply haven't eliminated the pin completely yet? I can't work on it right now so the only thing I have to do right now is stress over it.
