Exclamation Broke Key in tumbler

I tried turning on the car and the key broke in the ignition. about 1/4 of the key broke in the igniton and then my brother tried putting the key in there and before I could tell him not to he shoved the key in. Now the small piece is all the way in there. I was wondering what would be the easiest way to remove the broken piece. Its a 95 Impreza. Would crossing the wires work to turn it on the red and green then yellow and blue.

thanks

Pay a locksmith to fix the problem correctly.

Do not hotwire the car, it's not as easy as crossing all the wires and it can damage the ignition system.

Use a flat Dremel cutting wheel from the bottom to etch a groove in to the blank rivet-looking things and use a flathead to unscrew them.
