Most cars have one included from the car manufacturer. To enable you turn the key to a certain position that does two things, locks the ignition so it cant be turned on to start the car and second it activates the steering wheel lock so the steering can't be turned.
Remove the steering wheel and disassemble the wheel lock mechanism. This requires removal of the air bag and some special tools.
Your cars immobilizer is most likely the culprit. It locks the steering wheel when the key is not in the ignition. This mechanism can wear down and lock up the wheel.
Key components of a steering system include the steering wheel, which allows the driver to initiate direction changes; the steering column, which connects the wheel to the steering mechanism; and the rack and pinion or recirculating ball assembly, which translates the driver's input into wheel movement. Additionally, the tie rods connect the steering mechanism to the wheels, ensuring precise control. Power steering systems, whether hydraulic or electric, enhance the ease of steering, especially at low speeds.
Helm referred to the steering mechanism of a ship, whether it be a wheel or some other steering design.
The word "helm" can be used, but it generally refers to the entire steering mechanism, whether it's a sumple rudder and tiller, or a pneumatic wheel. I'd normally say "wheel" to differentiate it from a tiller, and to single that particular piece out from the entire mechanism, but "helm" is also fine.
Assuming you mean the steering column, it is what transmits the turning of the wheel in your hands to the steering mechanism which moves the wheels that are touching the ground.
the sailor has a special cabin which includes the steering wheel and all the other mechanism...
The helm is the steering wheel of the boat or ship.
To pull the steering wheel in a 1996 Buick, first ensure the vehicle is in park and the ignition is off. Then, grasp the steering wheel firmly with both hands and pull it towards you, which may involve adjusting the tilt mechanism if equipped. If you need to remove or replace the steering wheel, use a steering wheel puller tool to safely detach it from the steering column. Always follow safety precautions and consult the vehicle's manual for specific instructions.
To unlock the steering wheel on a 1994 Corvette, insert the key into the ignition and turn it to the "On" position while gently turning the steering wheel left and right. If the steering wheel is still locked, try jiggling the key slightly as you turn it. This action should release the lock mechanism and allow the steering wheel to move freely. If problems persist, there may be an issue with the ignition switch or steering column that requires further inspection.

Most likely the canceling mechanism, which is plastic and located under the steering wheel, is broken.
