Can you use a pair of needle nose pliers to extract the broken section, which would allow you to use your spare key?

Is it loose to the point where you can move it but it won't turn forward to start but also won't turn back to totally off? Maybe lubing the assembly.....not sure, your mechanism might have decided to die, which has happened before. A tiny bit of WD40 might work. YMMV. :)

Sounds like the Ign lock plungers or springs may have colapsed.

Maybe worth contacting a locksmith?
