Ignition & Steering Locked

Need help with my 92 F 150, the igniton and steering are locked can't even get the key in the ignition.. Let my daughter use my truck today she called from Wal Mart advised me she couldn't start my truck. Turns out she some how locked up the steering and I can only get the key in about half way. I Have no idea as what to do.. Any advice would be grateful..

Try turning the wheel a little bit away from the lock as you insert the key and turn the ignition. Heck, try turning the ignition without the key in it--these years of trucks are known for having sloppy ignition switches. I can start my '90 without a key.
