Why would my steering wheel lock while turning? 2002 Mercury Cougar.?

So I am getting off the freeway going 70 MPH on the ramp. I am braking and going to make a right turn at approx. 40-60 MPH (way too fast). I slightly turn the wheel to the right and I couldn't turn it anymore. I was pushing it my hardest to the right but it would not go. I finally slowed down and bumped the middle divider. Then my car stalled because I forgot I had it in 5th gear. Then I started my car and everything was working fine. Is something wrong with the car, or is it my driving? Regardless of how fast I am making a turn, the wheel should let me, right?
