Don't ever force the key, use the wheel to relieve the tension. Nothing will be damaged doing this.
Your comment about some people unlocking the wheel by accident when getting out of the car ... that can't happen if the key has been removed.

Seriously, there was zero play in the steering wheel, and then only minute play after I started the car from outside, like 1/32". I meant that people LOCK the steering wheel unintentionally by grabbing it when getting out of the car.
