    I had this happen about 5 or 6 years ago and Dumke just had this happen at Moab last week. It was usuallly a combination of 2 things for me. First, the steering wheel wasn't locked. Try turning it until it locks, you might be good to go then. The other problem that causes this was the cable in the the shifter knob. I had to take mine apart and loosen a set screw (I think, it's been a while) and pull the cable up a little higher before re-tightening the set screw.

    Sometimes I had to push the shifter into the park position while turning the steering wheel to get it to lock. It was very frustrating, so I feel your pain. I think making the adjustments in the shifter knob is what finally made it go away...
