Take yourself a two x four about four feet long will do. The idea here, as many here have suggested, you do not want to rely on the steering lock to hold the steering wheel in place while you are trying to break the lock nut free.
You may not care about the junk car, That's cool. But you will need the wood for your own car. The trick here is to place the wood through the steering wheel letting it come into contact with the floor. As you wrench on the lock nut in the steering wheel, the steering wheel will turn a little and rest against the wood. Now you can leverage the force against the lock nut without the steering wheel turning any farther.
Be sure to use a very high quality 10mm hex socket. These seem to fit much more snug into the lock nut.
Also if you feel up to it remove another lock nut from another car to use as a spare at home. Should you chew up your own lock nut a little.
