Default 99 ram 1500 stuck in park

Ok, so I lost my truck keys but have to move it so it won't get towed. I first tried drilling out the lock pins but the only bit I had that fit broke before I finished. I then successfully hotwired it but I can't drive it because of the steering column lock, and also I can't shift out of park. What do I do? I can't call a locksmith because the ignitions toast and I don't have the money anyway.

Pound a screwdriver into the ignition. The ignition has to turn before it allows you to take it out of park and turn the wheel
