this is purely off the top of my head, so I'm not sure if this is even possible, but maybe you could remove the electrical ignition switch, and then pull the lever from the keyed ignition switch into the run position????

When a key is lost in an ignition switch(and its too jacked up even for a locksmith) then I usually use a drill. Go right down the key slot with progressively bigger drill bits until the all the brass tumblers come out. I think there are five of them. when they are out you'll be able to turn the cyliner all day long.
