You do that AFTER beating the sob like it owes you money. Once you get the car into ACC mode (beat on the steering lock itself under the steering column with rubber mallet while repeatedly pushing the start button) only then can you remove the fuse to disable the steering lock. This is your best parking lot option.

If you remove the fuse while the ESCL is failed in the locked position and the car is off, your car will never turn on.
