I assume you meant you left the keys elsewhere and want to move the car. You will need a key that fits in the ignition (but doesn't necessarily unlock the ignition). Remove the steering wheel, and the antitheft plate under the wheel and you will see a slot above the ignition key lock. There is probably a diagram in a post-1969 TSM showing the location of the slot. With the key in the ignition, stick a small pointed object into the slot (the TSM mentions a paper clip) and release a tab which holds the lock cylinder in place. Pull the lock cylinder and key out of the steering column. Reassemble the column. Done. I have not actually tried the above procedure with the "wrong" key, but I think it will work with any key which fits into the lock cylinder.
