...I wonder how the cops feel about it though

I believe laws vary on this. AFAIK, some states don't really care what you do with a gun inside a car, others require a permit, and others may require it to be hidden from view if you leave it in the vehicle.
Washington law says -
9.41.050 ...
(2)(a) A person shall not carry or place a loaded pistol in any vehicle unless the person has a license to carry a concealed pistol and: (i) The pistol is on the licensee's person, (ii) the licensee is within the vehicle at all times that the pistol is there, or (iii) the licensee is away from the vehicle and the pistol is locked within the vehicle and concealed from view from outside the vehicle.
I'm not sure what this means. It probably means "You have to have a permit for a loaded pistol in a vehicle, and you have to hide it and lock the car if you don't carry it on your person." If so, then the holster under the steering wheel would be OK, as long as you took it with you when you left the vehicle.
Best thing to do would be to check with local authorities.
