First make sure that the key is turned in the position that it can be removed. First try with tweezers if it doesn't come out get a paper clip. Straighten the paperclip and bend about 2mm of the tip at 45deg. Try to insert it with the teeth of the key and gently pry it out.

use a pointed dental device and insert intense of the damaged area. stick with moderate stress downward at the same time as gently pulling in the route of you. wiggle somewhat, if needed, and it truly is going to come out. the subsequent step is to call a locksmith. once you've a spare key, and also you extract the damaged area, you're good to bypass. if no spare, have a locksmith eliminate key, and make you 2 new keys. no favor to spend a lot of money at a broking, no longer to point the inconvience of leaving your vehicle for 2-3 days

well your prob sorted by now,or she will be will ticked off
i had this issue in the past i stuck blue tack to the snapped end applied forward pressure
then carefully and slowy wiht drew the key,it manged on the third time to draw out the broke half
you can still get a key cut from two halfs of a broken key ,its just dependant on how it snaps(i.e cleanly or not)
good luck

If you can see the broken edge of the key try using a thin pair of tweezers to grab the key and pull out.

the best way would be to take the ignition apart , there should be a cover the pulls off or unsrews, but be careful the horn wires we be hanging.
if you dont want to do all that you could try taking a pencil magnet and stick it in the igntition and careful get the key to pull out , but buy using the magnet you could make your horn not work ....

You could try using a Junior hacksaw blade,insert it in the lock with teeth towards you and pull,it may drag it out.

Maybe try chewing gum? It has worked for removing several things for me, although not a key...
