Default ignition key problems

the piece of metal in my ignition which triggers the chip on your key to start your car broke off. now i can't start my car. my key goes in but it won't turn or move my steering wheel. i'm afraid to take it to the chevy dealership because they're going to charge me an "arm n a leg". what can i do to take care of this problem without paying about $500?

A good lock smith should be able to help. You might have to go to the stealership for a new ignition switch though.
