See if you turn it off all the way to see if it'll lock the steering wheel. It should lock. If not changing the cylinder takes 2 pullers. One for the wheel and one for the spring lock under the horn. Not hard and not expensive.

So I can get the steering wheel to lock, but I can turn the ignition cylinder with no key in it and the wheel unlocks with it. Super weird. I have seen a video of someone taking off the wheel and getting to the cylinder to replace it. I might look it up in the next month or two, the cylinder is like $35 but the pullers and stuff will add onto that bill.

For $35, get the genuine GM cylinder from RockAuto.

Ok so sounds like the cylinder is worn out. I know you can rent the puller tool from advance auto but I'm not sure about the press for the c clip...some have that in it. Those are cheap to get though. Things I like to replace while in there are the parts for the horn...all of them! The insulator likes to fall apart and little springs like to fly.

In the meantime, I'd chain the steering wheel to the brake pedal or something.
