ignition tumbler locked up

hey everyone, the other day i got into my 92 pickup, and tried to start it, but my key would turn, its stuck in the 'lock' position, and it wont turn to 'acc' or 'start' etc.. so the lock on the tumbler isnt unlocking. does anyone know where i can get one, and how much? and How the heck do u get it out?

in the meantime, jimmy the key up and down vertically (parallel to the key itself) while turning and you should be able to get it to turn in the meantime until you find a replacement.

Same thing happened to mine. I got one cut from the VIN code from the dealer and that worked for me.
