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?

if you need to get the hwole lock out you need to have the key as it will move the tumblers so that you can pres the unlock button on the casing of the lock mechanism too
