The unlock tool can be had here if you don't want to goto a shop (I wouldnt want to pay someone for this easy fix) http://www.complianceparts.com/lmc5unlocker.html
then grab their lmc5 module as well.... http://www.complianceparts.com/lmc5description.html
If you are truly desperate and stranded, I was reading in a thread you can force the wheel "sometimes" by cranking on it really hard, you may have to do a search for the exact "procedure" lol.
Also make sure to fully charge your battery and possibly test it to make sure it's actually good.

The CLB was my first mod when I bought my Z
I also had the fuel cutoff tuned out just in case the BCM gets confused someday

Just happened to me last weekend at my brothers home when i had absolutely no tools with me nor he has any, well i put the key in, and turn hard right with little impact couple hits and done.
previous owner did installed CLB but i guess after 5-6 years its time for another one.
Edit: happened today as well, yank to right broke loose.......
