If you accidentally turn the ignition to the locked position while the car is moving then your steering wheel will lock in its current position which is dangerous. Vehicle ignitions that use keys have a built in safety device that prevents the key from being removed while the switch is in any position except "lock". In some older vehicles the key can be removed due to wear on the safety latch. In a vehicle with automatic transmission you cannot turn the ignition to the lock position unless the transmission is in "P" or Park position. With a manual transmission you can switch it off in any gear.
