Default steering lock

i have a 55 wrx, and can't always get the steering lock to engage.

any ideas?

So is mine (UK MY00). Wheel will only lock to the left. Also my keys dont stay in the ignition, I can start the car n take them out Its quite a cool security measure actually, so not too bothered about that.

Why would you want to engage it? Thats not really the idea of them.If your locking it all the time it just puts a bit more stress on the locking mecanism. I thought the idea was that if someone tried to drive it or roll it away the steering would then lock to stop them steering it.
