Andy - I can tell how hard you are trying not to come over as jealous of a "Lancia on the road". 10/10 for effort
Brian - I'm sure your local locksmith will be able to recommend an automotive locksmith and they might have it out in seconds. If you were able to drive to them I doubt it would be much more than a "cash in the biscuit fund" sort of price. Even if they couldn't help getting the key out you'd have tracked down someone who could help pin a spare lock to your key or whatever else proves necessary.
