I-Pods, I don't have one, but they're really popular, hmmmm you could but them for $250 to $300, depends on which one you get, and then sell them for about $1000, I doubt computers are common there, but hell try. (don't try this, you'll fail, immediately)
Line it up correctly and pull it out with a large pair of pliers-straight out, no twisting.
I am presuming the key still turns around in the lock. You can try this, it takes less time to do than to describe. Get the key lined up with what you think is the proper orientation for it to come out, then push inwards on the very center part of the lock cylinder (the part that rotates with the key). While holding inwards on this part, wiggle the key slightly left and right and see if it comes out. If you can 't tell if the key is upside down or not, you will need to try turning 180 degrees and doing it again if it initially doesn't work. What happens, with some locks, when they start to wear out is, when you try to pull the key out, the center of the cylinder moves towards you slightly (as if it was going to come out along with the key) when this happens, the holes for the tumblers do not qiuite line up and this can prevent the key from coming out. If you get the key out, try poofing some graphite powder into the key hole and see if it works OK now, if there is any doubt, or you can't get the key out, replace the lock, they are not very much money. If you replace the lock, but you still need to save that key for another lock, once the lock is removed from the door, there will be a small clip, or some kind of retainer holding the inside part of the cylinder in the lock, if you remove this retainer, the whole center part and the key will come out. Note: if you do this, tumblers and springs will go everywhere and the old lock will be useless, so make sure you have the replacement lock on site before doing this or you will have a breach of security.
