The 124 has a lock out for the steering lock. If the car is not in park you cannot turn the key to the final part to lock the steering wheel and pull the key out.

I suspect in this latest run away car incident it was a combination of panic and not knowing that holding down the start/stop button would kill the engine. Does anyone have a start stop button that that they can verify if you hold it down it will shut off? I seem to remember reading that in one of those "what do do when" articles.
