try turning the key all the way to one side and holding it. it might roll down all the windows and allow you access.

Great idea! Turn to the right to roll down windows.

I got a replacement housing off of eBay. You have to transfer the transmitter from the old housing (unless, like I did, you lost it when the housing broke). I have several left if you want to contact me, I could send you one. You'd still need to have the key cut since the housing comes complete with the blank (or, if it's in ok shape, you might be able to use your original).
