There is a solenoid release tab that can be accessed through a hole in the bottom of the column cover.
Your car might still have the rubber close-out plug that was installed in the access hole on most cars. Remove the plug and you'll have easy access to the solenoid overide mechanism.
I keep a golf tee in the console. If that solenoid ever sticks, I just push the tee up through the access hole to actuate the release tab.
Much easier than trying to reach up under their with my fat fingers!
