My `87 car had the same problem, I got the key out the first or
second time it happened, but finally the lock kept it..
After you pull everything out of the way, cover, airbag, little
delicate horn contact parts, etc. (I never did a `96 car, but I own a
`95 so I know what you have) you can then use a wheel puller too
remove the steering wheel in order to gain access to the lock, which
must be changed, you will need a new key too, I think it comes with
one. I did this operation on my `87 car and I broke something off
the delicate horn contacts but was able to get by without replacement.
You wouldn`t want to put the same lock back in, even if you got the
key out of it, it would just screw up again. Difficulty level on this
job would be experienced only, some special tools needed.
Oh, yeah, if the wheel goes back on EXACTLY like it was, go to church
next Sunday.

Well Bones that made me feel better and feel worse LOL
I`m glad it required some tools and experience in this exact procedure
after handing it off. BUTTTT the steering wheel being put back on the
exact same
spot now has me worried. I`m soooo damn anal.
Hopefully he is thorough enough to maybe mark the shaft/wheel to get it
back on
the same "teeth" on the shaft. LOL
If not I will have to do it in the garage. With the wheel being off
recently I might be able
to pull/wiggle it off without renting a puller, and also avoid cracking
myself in the face
with it. LOL Been there done that :-)
I can see it now, whacking myself in the face with the wheel when it
lets go and then
the airbag goes off whacking me in the face again.... shall I video it
for the group?.. HAHAHAHA
