    Put the key in the ignition and with one hand wiggle it as far as you can to each side, or put alot of pressure on it on one side and turn the key when it releases. Don't break your key, the key itself needs no more pressure than normal. You'll feel silly when you get it, pretty simple.

      I tried what you said & it really is stuck! tried wiggling it as far to each side and the pressure one side.. It just wont rotate and turn! The lock is stuck on the hub

                    +1, you have access to it, and will most likely do more damage trying to remove it any other way.

                      Is that really my only option?

                        is it a bad option?

                        you could also use an air chissel or a maltov cocktail.

                              if you can remove the tumbler assy, then you may be able to retract the lock pin. otherwise you are fucked and need to dremel the the lock off to release the wheel. just dont beat on it with a hammer, you will fuck things up worse that way, than just dremeling off the offending lock piece
