Steering lock is 2 clicks back. You only need 1 click back to shut down the engine. Then, as soon as it stops, click it back to the ON position. Your electronic systems (you like airbags?) and odometer will start running again.
You will lose power steering, but at anything above parking lot speeds, you don't need it anyway. Brakes are good for 3-4 applications before the vacuum boost runs out. If I use the brakes twice (rare), I like to do a quick bump-start and turn it back off to replenish the boost. That way, if an emergency comes up, i'm ready.
