Hi

I hope you have not caused major damage

Try and move the steering wheel a little ..left and right..
Can you turn the key at some point?

It's unlikely to be anything too severe... as above, just pull the wheel in the direction where there is movement, and hold it there while you turn off the steering lock. The steering lock is just a cast metal rod, and will shear off before anything in the steering breaks, so it probably only needs releasing once and then it will be fine.
