No, you're a fucking retard if you pull your key out triggering the steering lock. Electrical and mechanical steering locks only activate after the key has been removed, or in the case of electrical locks after about 10-15 minutes. However you can keep all instrumentation running without having the engine running, so the electrical lock wouldn't kick in until 10-15 minutes after turning that off. Why do they do this? Oh, because it's still possible to tow or push-start a vehicle and the point at which you cannot start your engine is long before you cannot power your instrumentation and thus deactivate your steering lock.
