This is a difficult question without knowing what kind of vehicle it is. I would start by attempting to remove the steering wheel. This may also be impossible if the wheel is locked. Then I would attempt to take off the cover(s) from the steering column and see if its possible to remove any of the switches. It may be possible to unlock the steering wheel once you are behind it. There will be a small metal rod ( the steering lock ) that moves up and down while turning the key and inserts into the steering wheel. There may be a pin or a part that screws onto the locking cylinder ( your key switch ) that holds it in that may also be accessible once the steering column cover(s) have been removed. If none of these things work I would call a locksmith to see if he can pick the lock as long as you didn't break your key off in the cylinder. As a last resort you may try drilling the cylinder out. This may take a few attempts and you may damage something in the recess where the cylinder rests. Another method I've heard of is to use a dent puller and try to yank it out - expect collateral damage if you attempt this.
