The main reason why the car key and steering wheel cannot be turned is that the steering wheel is locked, which is why the key won't turn. Although compared to most electronic anti-theft devices, the steering wheel lock seems quite primitive, for thieves, even if they successfully start the car, the steering wheel cannot be turned, so it still provides good anti-theft protection.
