It is normal for the steering to not lock with the key off. GM took the lock feature out which is one of the reason the trucks are so easily stolen. This may be silly but i am assuming you were pushing on the brake when you were trying to shift from park. The brake switch is used to unlock the shifter solenoid. If you press on the brake and it still wont shift than there is probably a problem with your brake switch.
