^ What he said. Maybe if you had a strong enough magnet you could just pull it out. Depends how deep it is

I mixed up a tiny dab of j.b. weld and put a little on the end of the key and put it back in the ignition.crossed my fingers and hoped that I didn't weld the tumblers together. Waited 10 minutes or so and then tried pulling the key out and it came out! :-) maybe just really lucky, but it worked for me.
