As you know without the key you cannot remove the cylinder. Sometimes you get lucky and the door handle lock will still match the ignition key. You can take your door handle to a locksmith and have if make a key , hoping they still match. You might ask lockdoc on this forum . He probably has the best answer.

Over the years I have accumulated few hundred original keys from salvage trucks. Usually I can find one that works but takes a lot of time. Good luck.
