If you cannot turn the switch with the key broken off in it:
-Disconnect battery ground cable.
-Remove steering wheel.
-Using channel lock pliers or vise grip pliers, twist lock cylinder cap until it separates from the lock cylinder.
-Using a 3/8-inch diameter drill, drill down middle of ignition lock key slot approximately 44 mm (1-3/4 inch) until lock cylinder breaks loose from breakaway base of lock cylinder. Remove lock cylinder and drill shavings from lock cylinder housing.
-Remove retainer, washer, ignition switch and actuator. Thoroughly clean all drill shavings and other foreign materials from casting.
-Carefully inspect lock cylinder housing for damage from the above operation. If damage is apparent, housing must be replaced.

If you can turn the switch with the key broke off in it:
-Disconnect battery gound cable
-Turn ignition to run position
-Place a 3.17 mm (1/8 inch) diameter wire pin or small drift punch in hole in trim shroud under lock cylinder. Depress retaining pin while pulling out on lock cylinder to remove it from column housing.

Hope that helps

Some fords have a pin or screw under the bottom side of the steering column under the switch - butt some have a screw that is under the steering wheel.
