Ignition Issue

I accidentally tried to start my 03 TL with my wife's MDX key and now I think I might have an issue. The ignition will not turn at all, the steering wheel is turned to the left and locked and I can't shift the car from park.

I've tried both of my keys and neither of them will turn the ignition. Is there anything I can do to fix this or do I need to get it towed to the dealer?

I've read through everything on here, but didn't see if there was any way to reset this.

Thanks in advance.

Interesting. I'm not sure if it unlocked overnight or what happened. I was able to turn it away from the lock and it started easily.

Thanks for the help.
