Call a cab for transportation, then call a locksmith that makes car keys. Changing out your ignition lock now will only cause problems later on. If the the same key that starts your car also unlocks the door then a key can be made and you have saved the cost of a new ignition lock. If they are not the same key then you already have a changed out ignition lock. Not easy to change them out, the right tools and training are required so youu don't damage the column. The graphite in the ignition lock and jacking the car up 'trick' will not work.

You could put some powdered graphite into the lock,where the key goes in.Jack up the vechicle so the front tires are off the ground & see if the ignition switch will turn.

Can you give more information? What is wrong the ignition - is it locked up? There may be other solutions.
