Most places can simply cut them off for you. When you purchase your next set, see if you can order a duplicate key if this happens again.

+1 they can probably take those wheels off faster w/o a key than you with one.

I remember one time my buddy and I had trouble bypassing the stock security alarm on my car and my friend goes, "no worries, I got some shady friends I can call." We asked his shady friend 1 question, "How do you steal a _____?" the guy spit out 10 mins worth of info including wire schematics (even to the color!) and crap that even a trained certified mechanic wouldn't know off the top of his head.

Sears sells a tool that goes over the lugs and bites into them to remove them. It will destroy the lugs that require the key. you will also need impact to do it, so it might just be cheaper to go to a shop and have them do it.
