is the key cylinder broke off or still intackt ---- behind that (take it off)should be a thing u can stick a screw driver in or use a needle nose pliers to turn it over --- also make sure any rods or linkages are not bent out of working order

usually a rod pushes a starter button , keycylinder unlocks wheel if u remove cylinder u should be able to turn it to a unlockd position and manually start it
