Ken, are you speaking about removing the lock cylinder from the switch or the switch itself from the car, or both?    ???

You need the key. Insert it and turn it to the full upright (on) position. Insert a thin wire in the small hole in the switch, push hard and that will allow the tumbler and bezel to slide out. At that point you can remove the remaining switch body from the rear of the dash. If you don't have a key, then you'll need to call a locksmith if you want to save the tumbler and switch.
