Technical Steering :/
My 5 cents...
It isn't that simple and nothing to play with. If you re aline the steering wheel, very probably your left or right turn will be quite different than other one. In other words you left turns for example will be wider than right ones, not to talk about harder steering, uneven tyre ware etc.
Maybe you won't even make first corner without reversing!
First check steering column and under the car, if something is bent and similar.
than start looking for new or used steering mechanism...

Take it to a garage with a digital tracking machine and have the thing sorted properly. Most places only charge around £20-£30.
Providing you haven't bent anything, the car should handle better than ever and able to achieve less tyre wear.
As above moving the wheel is just masking the fundamental problem.
It will also give mechanics a chance whilst it is on the ramp to see if anything is bent.

Sounds like you've mucked up the steering box / rack and the column base has jumped a load of teeth. Either replacement rack or box (if seperate) needed.
Or just put up with it if tracking etc is fine.
