With the key inserted, you could turn you handlebars sideways and then lock them in place there (to make it take up less space for storage). It would be hard to steer with the handlebars attached sideways.
Or, you could turn the key the other direction and it just left the handlebars loose. Basically, you can't steer a bike without the handlebars locked in place.
My 1976 Raleigh Superbe had a key operated locking fork.
