I can appreaciate the panic. But with a little luck you can probably get it to turn. First of all I recommend getting as much pressure off the steering lock as possible. If the wheels are pointed straight ahead, find a midway position between the right and left stop. It is short, but there is a middle. Some suggest that if you have a floor jack that you even raise the front end to eliminate any binding. But after that it seems that vibratory type tools will usually work. An air or electric small vibrating type sander with just the rubber pad, (no sandpaper) to message the lock area while you continue to try to turn the key will usually produce results. Don't use "hard" pressure while trying to turn the key.
