You can put the car in neutral or turn off the ignition.

Yup, that is what I meant about drivers having an option. In a panic most will freeze up without training. Sad but true.

If you do that, your steering wheel will lock, perhaps sending you into a tree or something.

If you kill the ignition you lose power steering and possibly power brakes but wheel doesn't lock for good reason.

Throwing your Mercedes transmission into neutral should not lock your steering wheel...hopefully.
