Three options:
1. Find a way to get it out of there, like a high-powered magnet.
2. Replace ignition cylinder. Very expensive through GM, particularly if you have VATS.
3. Get under your dash and install an ignition kill-switch somewhere in the car. (This is the most fun and 'l33t' way of doing it.)

Ignition cylinder was $100 CDN through GM. That's not the expensive part, it's the labour, and believe me, you do not want to try it yourself, it is a goddamn nuisance. Guess how I know this. EASY three hours labour for a 4 inch part. Plus the airbag wire is right there, so you need to disable the system to SAFELY work on it. Not to mention those VATS wires are so bloody fragile....

If you have vats, you cant lock the driver door, so your screwed. If I try and lock the doors with the key in it it just beeps unlocks itself, i guess to keep you from locking your keys in it.
