2003 Vauxhall Zafira ignition barrel pin broken

Car: Vauxhall Zafira
Year: 2003
Variant: 1.8 comfort
Categories: Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
Hi guys, have a problem where the long metal piece of the ignition barrel has snapped(the part that goes into the plastic switch). On trying to remove the barrel(moving to position 1-2 then pushing down on locking pin) i have found the barrel will NOT come out, I CAN ONLY ASSUME THAT THAT HAS ALSO BROKEN??? How and what would now be the best way to remove the ignition barrel??
Many thanks for any help offered
