That's after a little incident where the key wouldn't turn in the ignition because (it turns out -- zephyr++) the steering wheel wanted to be wiggled.
The first time I was told that secret was after several times of it not working but getting the key to turn "by accident", ie, I didn't know what I'd done differently to make it work. That happened about three times. Then it happened when I was near my mom's workplace, so she came out and asked, "did you try jiggling the steering wheel?" I think it's one of those things that so obvious once you know about it, that you never think to tell someone.
