Well you can either go at the key slot with a good drill, or drill the housing from underneath just below where the locking tab locates and punch it out.

Edit:
you can try and remove the outer cover and insert.
however there is a chance you will break the lock surround in the process.

These cars are supposed to be thief proof, and you are effectively wanting to do what is necessary to nick it. It's not meant to be easy!
