70 Bug Switch

Hello everyone, Im new to the board and have a question. I have a 1970 Beetle been setting for a while and hopefully this summer I can start on it. Here is my question, I have misplaced the switch key and this model has the lock steering. I cant even get it pushed into my garage to work on it. Is there a easy way to find a key for it or do I have to go through DMV and all that mess.
Any help would be appreciated.

You don't need a key. Just take the wheel apart so that you can steer and then put a temporary switch to activate the starter.
Did I understand your question right?

Hi George, you mean take the steering wheel off and go from there.
