Well, depending on your year and model car and assuming that it is the original lock cylinder. Your local dealership should have the information for your key. If your key contains the pellet for the VATS and is a pre-1990 car, then you are looking at a whole new can of worms. But to answer your question, no, there is no easy way to get to the on position without a key.

u can run without key, and drive too, but u would have to dissasemble ur steering wheel, remove the locking plate, and then put the wheel back on, then u could unplug the ignition switch wiring from the steering column, and work it that way
