Anyone experience an issue of not being able to turn the ignition key without struggling quite a bit with the steering wheel in order to get the key to turn? It's doesn't happen all the time but on occasion I have to futz with it quite a bit. Thanks!

Sounds normal to me, when the steering lock is engaged (key removed from the ignition), i could be wrong.

My first post! This happens to me if I park on a hill and turn the wheels towards the curb. When you turn the key "off" the power steering shuts down and the steering tries to return take the path of least resistance, ending up pressing against the steering lock. Just crank the steering wheel away from center while turning the key and it should work no problem.
