You push on the steering wheel, and the steering wheel pushes you back into the seat. The net force on the car is zero.

The force that you are applying to the steering wheel gets dissipated, the steering column just pushes back at you without creating a net force. Even if you applied a super-human amount of force to the steering wheel I think all you'd do is break the steering column, not move the car. If you are outside the car and push on the back bumper, however, the car will move (provided you overcome the friction between the pavement and the tires) because you are pushing on the body of the car itself.
