I had the same problem. Replacing your ignition cylinder will fix the issue. I would recommend going to a dealer for the repair. They're plenty of Diy after market parts but its complex and will make it so you will need multiple keys for your car. One for the doors and one for the ignition, the dealer can reprogram keys to work for every thing in your car. Cost me about 180.0 after labor and an extra key.
To adjust the steering wheel of a 2003 Ford Ranger, locate the lever underneath the steering column. Pull the lever down to unlock the steering wheel, then adjust the wheel to your desired position. Once adjusted, push the lever back up to secure the wheel in place. Make sure it is locked before driving for safety.
You can huge amounts of WD-40 to the lock cylinder of your lock key and move your key inside and outside many times while trying to turn your ignition on in order to break free your locked steering wheel of your 2003 Ford Focus.
