if the key is in there, you should be able to turn, unless its not the right key...which would explain how the po broke it off. i had a key broken off in a door once, i just used a bit of super duper super glue on the tip of a flat head screwdriver. just held it there till i was sure it was dry. then slowly and carefully pull the key out.

Just go and buy another ignition that comes with the key and put it in .If you go to rock auto i think they have them plus they cheaper then other places.
