Well, I got the key out of my Mom's '90 when it broke>

Robert,
I had to extricate the remnant of an ignition key from my Mom's 1990 900 base a few months ago. I was all set to buy a new lock cylinder, when I happened to take push up on the little lever under the lock cylinder (which goes to the ignition electrical switch and makes the contact which makes the door buzzer buzz when key is in ignition w/door open).
It is a little see-saw type lever, visible if you take off the gearshift box bottom cover, under the center console (hers is a 5 spd). You may be able to just take off the plastic console, stick your hand up underneath the gearshift box (might need to remove a front seat and peel back carpet to do this) and wiggle that little lever. Her broken key popped right out.
I know this might be a little vague, but I took photos of her shifter when I did this job, so I might be able to post them, if it'll help.
