I would try EOC in an empty parking lot to make sure you have at least one good push on the brakes before they start to fade and the steering wheel should be able to be turned just without the power assist.

I would do this just to make sure your systems are working properly even if you don't intend to ever EOC again.

From running position turn key back one click, wait about 2 seconds and then click back to run (but do not turn to start position). You should have 1 or 2 good pushes on the brake and the steering wheel should turn, but just with more effort needed.

Here is a thread on how to smoothly bump start your engine.

I would do that just to make sure your car is working properly then if it is drive however you feel most comfortable.
