I put the spare key into the igntion.

So in a moment of weakness when I had left my keyring on a jobsite during a lunch break and tried to start my car with the spare door key that has no transponder. The ignition won't relinquish the key and I have to hold my original key next to the steering column to start the car. I am looking for a way to remove the key that doesn't involve a new ignition switch or tearing the $h*& out of the column.

I checked all the threads I could and no one else is fessing up to this.
