Turn the key to what should be the ON or run position. Look up underneath, there should be a small hole to stick a paperclip or similar in. You will probably need to tweak the position of the key in this case. It usually helps to give the year and model of what you're working on.

If you have a hole in the housing, tweak the position of the tumbler by turning the key to get the 2 holes to line up so you can insert the paper clip or similar. Or wait I guess you would need to line up the hole in the housing with the release pin in the tumbler, by turning the key.
