Problem now is that car washes (well, the ones I use) tell you to

I can't quite see why they would do that.

Because when the ignition is off, the steering locks. No key to remove,
which is the normal mechanism for a steering lock.

Why is the steering lock a problem? Quite possibly car washes have
moved on since the last time I used one...

Some types of car wash pull the car through the brushes rather than the
brushes moving past the car. Although I've not seen those for a while. Not
that I ever use an auto car wash these days anyway. They all scratch the
paint to a greater or lesser degree. And put bl**dy wax on the screen.
