My '02 Tundra: you must not only turn the key, but then push it in and turn it further to remove the key and engage the steering lock. While in drive, the key cannot be turned far enough to engage the steering lock. No power assist, but a sacrifice I'd make, kill the engine. I don't know the workings of the specific Toyota in question, but it seems that the company has thought through the possibility that the driver might need to kill the engine and not lock the steering wheel, and designed the ignition to make this easily possible in an emergency situation.
