be very careful...but . You could try putting a drop of superglue on the end of the key that you have and inserting it back into the lock. Hopefully it will set enough to withdraw the key. But there is the danger of sticking everything in the lock. If you get it out you can get another cut.
Just a suggestion but be careful>>>>>

Have you tried a magnet stuck on the other half of the key :?:
