A hardware store should be able to make you a new key if you get the business end out of the ignition. When this happened to me, I couldn't get it out, so I tossed the ignition lock and started the car with a flathead screw driver (It was a winter beater). Good luck.

Find an old dead computer hard drive, or just an old one you don't care about and take it apart, the magnets inside are stupid strong. I used that to get my broken key out of my trunk lock.

Hardware stores sell magnets for holding cable to metal buildings, if you stick two together sometimes it take two ppl to get them apart.
