Default just an idea

Well I've never had that problem but thought if you could put a little super glue on the end of a small stick or other half of key and then stick it in for a couple min till glue sets up and try pulling it out??

The thing about super glue is you run a risk of gluing the key in. You can call a lock smith and ask them if they are able to pull a broken key out. If not you are gonna have to replace the ignition switch.

Not sure about the ignition, but I just pulled a key out of a friends door on his civic - looked like someone tried to break in.

I know it's not the best idea but I drilled a hole on one side of the key and grabbed pliers and a pair of tweezers and eventually wiggled it out.
