Lost the lugnut key, help.

I was trying to change my brakes a few days ago and I cannot find my lug nut key. The locking lugs are in pretty sad shape so when I pulled my passenger side wheels a few months ago I didn't put the locking lugs back. Still I need to get the ones off the driver's side some how. We have a lug nut remover at work but the way my locking lugs are shaped the lug nut remover socket will not fit. Any ideas?

you should be able to get something like a 16 point socket on there. bang it on. hopefully the socket doesnt crack but it might. thats what i did on my RS.

i put wire in a lug wrench then jammed it on and got it off like that cause the wire took the shape of the lugs and was strong enough to barely get it off but they have to be shaped right so im not sure but thats what i did
