First, spray lubricant like WD-40 into the lock to loosen the broken piece, then try using a pair of needle-nose pliers to wiggle it out—gently so you don't push it deeper. If that fails, a thin jigsaw blade with the teeth facing up can hook and extract the stuck key. Work slowly and avoid force, as damaging the ignition cylinder can lead to a costly repair. Patience and the right tool usually solve the problem without needing a locksmith.
