Expert Reply:
Actually most vehicles have a steering wheel lock built into the steering column to prevent the wheel from turning when the key is off.
Also, typically when a vehicle is being flat-towed you actually want the steering wheel to be unlocked so that that vehicle tracks behind the tow vehicle properly.
I attached an FAQ article on flat towing that you should find helpful as well.
