I moved my neon back without turning the car all the way on and when I tried to start it I noticed the steering wheel wasn't locked and the key could not turn. I tried rocking the car and turning the wheel at the samee time and moving the shifter and still nothing. what should I try?

If I understand you properly, the key won't turn in the ignition, is that correct? If so then a tumbler in the lock can be sticking. If put the key in the lock, tap the head of the key toward the lock NOT too hard, light to medium taps, and attempt to turn the key pliers or vise grips holding the key helps, you',ll shake the stuck tumbler loose. Good luck.

make sure the foot brake is all the way in. Move the steering wheel while moving the key in the ignition. jiggle it some times the steering column gets stuck.

Take it to the dealer, body control module thinks someone tried to steal it.
