Default 370Z 'locked'

Right before I pulled into work, and parked, I accidentally 'killed' it by taking my foot off the clutch a little too early while it was in 1st, I didn't think much of it so I just lifted the E-brake and went inside...

At lunch I went out to start the car ('09 370Z MT) and it wouldn't do anything. I tried putting the little key in the slot and proceeded in pressing the 'start' button, it just stays in 'lock' mode and won't even go into ACC.

I did get something in the mail about a week ago saying my car has a recall, I do believe it had something to do with this... Is there an easy way for me to just do it myself so I can leave? I read up on an article (on this forum) saying to tap the steering-lock-box under the wheel with a mallet until it breaks free and then I can get in into ACC and then starting it?

Any quick responses or ideas? Should I un-hook the battery for 10 minutes and try?

Thanks
