The steering column in a Toyota Corolla is engineered to automatically lock when the car is parked, preventing it from being easily moved or stolen. To release the steering wheel lock, you should first ensure that your Corolla is in the on position with the engine off. Then, gently wiggle the steering wheel to the left and right until it unlocks. Some effort may be required, but as long as the car is on, the wheel should eventually become free. Once the steering wheel is unlocked, you can start your car and drive it as usual.
