Default Steering Lock Help

Does anyone know how to get the steering lock off a MK3 XR3i? I've lost the keys and the car needs to be moved, but wheels are locked to the right. Any ideas?

Apart from snapping it, theres not much you can do as far as I know.

How about lifting the front end up with a trolley jack and wheeling it?
