Steer into the slide and stay off the brakes! (push the clutch in if its a manual) - although this feels strange the first time you do it, it prevents the rear of the car from passing the front of the car - if that happens, you lost all control of the car, and if the rear wheels suddenly get traction, it can shoot the car forward in to the inside and cause an accident that would not otherwise would not occur. As you steer into the slide the rear wheels will gain traction and you will regain full control.

No. with the steering wheel locked you need to move it in the opposite direction so that you can turn the ignition, otherwise you're causing more problems for yourself.So whatever direction the steering wheel will turn(i think left) is the way you should turn it and then flip the ignition.
