Year, make, model?

I suspect that the wheel is not really locking up, its just loosing power steering when the engine dies, which is what causes the oil and “battery” lights to come on.

I have to guess at the cause. It could be a fuel delivery problem or an ignition problem. The usual fuel problems are: bad fuel pump or pump relay, or clogged fuel filter. Possible ignition problems are the ignition module, coil, crank position sensor. There are a myriad of other possibilities, especially without knowing anything about the car in question.
