The trick to removeing a broken key is to be SURE you hav eit lined up in hte proper position for key removal. If you are off just a little it won't come out. When it is lined up it the paper clip etc should get it right out.

Take your time and you should be able to get it. Work slowly and carefully.

exactly, line them up good. have you tried a magnet maybe? worse case scenario, a locksmith could probably pull it out for cheap, they do that stuff all day. if all else fails, turn the car on its side, and shake hard.
