2001 Saturn SL-1 Ignition trouble?

Right now, my car is in a parking lot, away from my town. What happened, I can't get my key in the ignition maybe only about 1/4 of an inch, and I can't turn the ignition I believe the tumbler pins. I'm trying to avoid bringing it to a mechanic other than my own. My dad and I tried to Hotwire it... but it didn't really work. Does anyone know a way to get the car so I can drive it to my mechanic? We were able to get it mostly apart, but it just didn't seem to want to work. The more details the better, and I don't want to use jamming the screwdriver in as a last resort.
