This morning when I got to work I shut off my car and took the key out. The Damn key broke off and part of it is still stuck in the ignition! Does anyone have any ideas on how to get it out? I don't want to take it to a garage --- don't have the cash to do that. Please help....give your ideas.....I will try anything!

How much of it is broke off in there? If you can see any little bit of it, use 2 needles. Put one in on each side of the key and use them as pinchers and try to get it out.
If it's a little piece way in there, you might use just the tiniest bit of superglue on the edge of your key and put it back in, wait the 10 seconds or so, and see if it comes out in one piece. Make sure you don't use very much glue and that it won't be oozing out the sides. Put a drop of glue on a scrap paper and use a toothpick or something a put a very thin coating on your key....it is what it is...

How about a pair of hemostats like they use in the hospital. They can be purchased at Wal Mart in the fishing section for removing fishing hooks or a a local head shop....I am only a mixed up purebreed mutt....1/8 Cherokee, 1 drop Shoshone, 1/16 German, 1/16 Irish, a handfull of unknown, and a few parts Hillbilly, mix and shake well...

Leave it in there!!! You dont have to worry about loosing the key now!
I had a car that the key was so worn that i could start the car and take the key out. Cops loved that!There are 2 types of people in the world...
