trunk lock stuck

Hello,
I have a 66 Fairlane hardtop. The other morning when it was very cold I tried to open my trunk. When I tried to turn the key, it only turned a fraction in the cylinder. I foolishly tried to force it and not only did the whole lock cylinder turn in the trunk sheetmetal and come out, but the key is now stuck in the lock and won't come out.
I've tried PB Blaster and clamping it in a soft-jawed vise and trying to carefully turn the key but no dice.
Any thoughts?
Dave.

Re: trunk lock stuck

Get a new lock silly.... With key of course...

If it came out of the trunk it's no good, if the entire lock twisted in the trunk, then the trunk was damaged and then repaired by an invalid and needs further repair in order that the lock cylinder no longer is allowed to turn and throw off it's retainer and come out...

Thanks, I just ordered a new one from Rock Auto. Less than $24 including shipping!
