I've used a bobby pin to get a key out. Be sure to pull the little plastic ends off so they don't get into the lock mechanism and complicate the issue. Usually you can put the pin in and pull the piece of the key out in one or two tries.

The fellow at the parts window tells me the keys are stainless steel, which is why it is so hard to find someone who can cut a key that fits. Checking my factory key with a magnet, I find it sticks.

Good luck!
