Default 12 Q7 Key stuck in ignition and battery dead

2012 Q7 Premium plus
I went to jump my Q7 this morning after it was completely dead. The alarm started going off, so i thought maybe put the key in the ignition. Now my key is stuck and battery is still dead. I googled how to get the key out, all i could find is put a pen in the little reset hole. My ignition doesn’t have that tho. Anyone know how i can get my key out and charge my battery without pissing off my neighbors?

Open your hood, There is a place to attach jumpers and you can charge the battery with that. Once your battery charge comes up higher, Then the key should release.
