Currently I am driving around with a disassembled dash and using a screw driver to start the car!
Your options:
1. Locksmith
2. Fabricate tool to remove ignition lock shield Link -> http://w124-zone.com/downloads/MB%20...is/46-8110.pdf
3. Pay to have the repairs done
4. Do it your self.
I have a 1991 300CE not sure how similar it is your model but it should be really closes to the same design.. Here is a link to a how to -> http://www.peachparts.com/Wikka/W201IgnitionSwitch
