Too bad it's not a 66... you could use a nail file in the ignition, or an
old suitcase key...
Seriously, discounting a house call by the locksmith, you could use a floor
jack under the front cross member to give you some steering capability. The
jacks usually have a pivoting head. So long as you don't have any big gaps
or soft spots to cross that would trap the tiny wheels, it should work. A
helper or two (or three) would come in handy.
