Help!

My son twisted the key off in the ignition yesterday (broke it with about 75% inside the cylinder) I don't know how he did it but luckily we can still rotate the cylinder and start the van. Any suggestion on how to get the rest of the key out? I've tried tweezers but can't get enough of a grip to pull it out.

We are supposed to start moving to another house this weekend and I need to use the 'star, I don't to get somewhere and not be able to start it back up again.

You may have to pop the cylinder out and take it to a locksmith.
