Broken Key in Ignition

Looking for a cheap fix. My key broke inside the ignition switch of my 1994XLT
Anyone know of an easy way to remove the key or switch ?

or, get some super glue and put it on the end of the key u still have, and then insert it firmly and hold it in place for 2-3 minutes and make sure it is dry and try to pull it out?

doubt a magnet would hold...some quality superglue might though.

Call a local locksmith and ask what the usual remedy would be

Same here

Mine broke off one time and I was able to use some small tweezers and grab it. It came out really easy.
