Some people have taken the extra step of removing their ignition lock to file off the locking pawl. That's a little extreme but you won't read about them flying blindly off the road, either. Well, not because their steering locked up.

A far better option is to add a kill switch (or push button) to your car. That removes the possibility of locking the steering accidentally.
There are DIY threads about this elsewhere on the site.
An added benefit of the kill switch is that because it's so much easier to use on the move, you end up using EOC more often, so saving more.
