Steering wheel locked

[Clive]

Hi all, My 2019 T6 steering wheel has locked and i can not unlock it.
Van has been fine but today I changed the front grille to a black gloss one and in order to get to the wheel arch fixingsI turned the lock to the fair left and then to the far right which it where it must have clicked and locked. Obviously in taking the bumper off I had to disconnect the fog lights and the parking sensors. I reconnected these and put the bumper back on, all seemed OK.
But the steering wheel is completely locked, no movement at all.
The ignition sequence doesnt happen. It is stuck in Park too.
I think the battery is ok as lights and radioe work ok.
My van has Ghost Immobiliser installed but entering the disarm sequence doesnt make any difference.
Any ideas ?
Thanks

This might be of some help Problems Turning Ignition Key / Barrel

Jack it up at the front and get front wheels off the ground to take the pressure off the steering rack.

I did similar to my van bit too much steering lock to access under the wheel arch and the lock came on. Had to do much jiggling around and eventually freed it but it was a bit nerve racking!

Problem resolved !
I sprayed a bit of WD40 into the keyhole and then turned the wheel to the right and it released.
So, Im not sure the WD40 did anything but it is a considerable amount of force required to release the lock.
Thanks everyone for the suggestions.
