You are not really supposed to turn the steering wheel when the car is parked. It puts a lot of load on the mechanism. You should at least be creeping slowly so the wheels can steer as they advance.
In all the cars I have driven, the power steering is totally silent. I suspect that if you hear a knocking there is a problem in the steering linkage. It is a 13 year old car ! You might prefer to live with the noise rather than undertake expensive repairs. If you know an honest mechanic, he might check if it is anything unsafe.
