The steering wont lock unless the ignition key is removed from the barrel.
All that is happening is you are loosing the power assistance to the steering

When it looses power with it still in gear and therefore the engine is turning does the rev counter drop to zero? Or does the rev counter still show the correct engine speed?

No its not a common problem, but i guess the car is a very early model maybe a S/T reg. So after the amount of time thats past, things start failing like the fuel pump.
Has the fuel filter ever been changed?

Its still 4 years old.
The cutting out problem was fixed by Peugeot before they built your car.
When was it last serviced?
