steering wheel off centre

So today I replaced my blinkers and parking lights with LEDs. As part of the process, I had to crank the wheel all the way to left and right, both to access behind the headlights and for reseting the TCS light after disconnecting the battery.

Now for some reason the wheel is off center (a little to the left). I assume this had something to do with me putting the wheel full lock in both directions so many times with the engine off. It still tracks straight though, and doesn't pull in either direction when on a flat road.

Is this something I can reset somehow, or will I need to take it for an alignment? I find it hard to believe I could have put it out of alignment so easily parked on the driveway.
