You may want to use one of these fast hardening glues, one of those that
harden in less than a minute.  Apply glue to one or both surfaces of the
broken key (depending on how your brand of  glue should be used), at the
same time making sure  to not glueing  the key to the  gas cap.  Put the
key parts together the right way, hold for a minute or so with as little
moving as possible, then try to pull the key.  Did work for me once.

Good luck.

Sincerely
 Rainer
