Need the key to turn the ign over to run then there is a small ball in the column that gets depressed , then the assembly comes out.

Sorry to tell ya but that's the only way,

pry off the chrome butterfly, and then you drill out the area where the key goes. dont go too deep. You pick the pins out and get the lock cylinder to turn , once turned to the on position, depress the small hole area directly under the lock cylinder from below. When depressed remove the cylinder, and install the replacement. Ive seen vehicles with the keys still in them at the pick a part yards sometimes. You might get lucky and get a used one.

If they key just broke off at the head, I suppose you could just put the teeth portion into the cylinder and mash it down with a flat head until it turns.
