Hate to tell you this, but this is one of those "sit-and-wait" situations, where you simply have to wait until its healed (pun very much intended).
Commercially available "donuts" on which you sit can help keep the pressure off of your painful tailbone. These can result in substantial pain relief, even without any other pain medications.
Also, I would recommend taking ibuprofen 400mg every 6 hours while awake. Some of the pain from coccydynia (painful tailbone) is from surround inflammation, rather than actual injury to the coccyx. Nonsteroidal pain medications (ibuprofen, Aleve, etc) help decrease this inflammation and can relieve pain.
These really are bothersome, so it's worth your effort to try and find pads and chairs that make this problem less difficult than it already is. You can speak to your doc about pain control. Also, ice packing (10-20 minutes on, same about of time of) can often reduce the pain.
