several options here-
1. telekenesis
2. suction
3. get something thin (like.. say.. the other half of the broken key) and put super glue on it.. stick it in there, wait a few, pluck it out
4. coax it out will small talk
5. play music it doesn't really like forcing it to leave
6. call a locksmith
7. suck it up and wait the 11 minutes a day to start the car
8. start the car once a day, turn it off when you're done commuting at night (LOL)
9. get rear ended at a HIGH rate of speed.. that should dis-lodge it
10. im retardedly bored at work

remove the instrument cluster and the radio to remove the two bolts that are holding the witch in place, I looked arround google and this is what I found thus far. Ive never had to remove the ignition switch on any vehicle, so this is the best I can do, lol

i've never had to do this but, here's what you have to do (according to the GM service manual):
to remove from the vehicle:
1. disconnect negative battery terminal
2. remove ign. switch trim ring, with a flat blade screwdriver
3. remove gauge cluster trim and gauge cluster
4. remove the ign. switch bolts
5. disconnect the electrical connectors
6. disconnect ign. lock cable from the switch
7. then remove the switch from the vehicle
to get the cylinder out:
1. insert the rest of the key and rotate it to the run position
2. press the cylinder release plunger, located at the 4 o'clock position on the
switch
3. use the key to pull the cylinder from the switch
this should help
