Ignition Lock Jam

I was reminded about a stupid problem I caused myself. Too early one
morning I jammed my girlfriend's Toyota key into my Peugeot ignition with
predictable results. Jammed up, finally got the Toyota key out, but
couldn't get the Peugeot key in at all.

Neighbors had some dental tools; since I'm a Dentifobe I broke out in a
sweat just holding the tools, but five minutes with one of those hideous
probes and a flashlight and things were back to normal. Now I've always
got a dental tool in the car. Only a few passengers can't resist the urge
to work it around in their mouths..... gack.

Cheers,
