Get a competent mechanic to remove the steering lock pin.
Then you can leave the ignition switch in the OFF position with no problems.
IF your '06 Dakota has an "OFF, not locked" position in the ignition switch, that is where the switch should be positioned for towing. There is no need to disconnect the battery with the switch in that position. I towed an '06 Wrangler many miles that way!
I wonder why they took the "OFF, not locked" position out of the switch? seems to me it was an incredibly stupid thing to do!
