That does happen even on cars with a mechanical key, usually when you turn the ignition off and then hang onto the steering wheel when getting out, the steering locks and the tension on the steering column pinches the lock and keeps it from releasing when you try and turn the key back to on.

I don't think I've seen it happen on keyless cars but I guess anything is possible.

But I presume OP's car has been towed to the dealer, and pehaps moved or manipulated a few times, there shouldn't be tension left to pinch the lock anymore.
