Oh man ... here we go again with the wheel lock issues.
Here's how you do this. Pound a 12 point socket onto the lug nut so the twelve points act as teeth and gouge into the lug nut, then remove it like any other lug nut.

A good tire store will have an assortment of lug nut keys, and if you're lucky, they'll have one that fits. If they don't, they probably have their own technique for solving this common problem.
