Don't have my frs yet but other vehicles have a lock on the ignition if someone tries turning the wheel. Next time just try turning the wheel slightly either direction and see if it unlocks it

Try turning your steering wheel to the left a little bit while you turn the key. I think you might be locking your steering wheel by accident.
(Edit)^^^^^^^beat me to it |

It has to do with the high compression ratio in the engine. I talked to my tech and they said its something you just get used to. No buggy

Gonna agree with this. Happens to me all the time. I'm not very tall, and my leg hits the bottom of the steering wheel every time I get in and does the ignition wheel lock.

Shake the steering wheel left n right while turning on the ignition - its in your manual.
My legs hit it every now n then getting in even at the highest position of the steering wheel :/
