Default blank keys

I got my keys stuck in the ignation, it won't come out for nothing. The dealer want $325 for a new key, and $135 to program it. I was told that I can buy a blank key for cheap, and bring it to the dealer and have it programed... does anybody know about this....

Have you tried turning the steering wheel while you try to pull the key out? If the wheels have been turned, the steering will sometimes jam the key.
