I meant lock picks... 
I don't think there's another way to remove the cylinder... but I've never had to. Are you trying to remove the internal barrel or the whole lock? Which lock is this anyway, the ignition?
EDIT: If you're trying to remove the barrel it doesn't look like there are any access panels in the door lock housing (woot for Toyota, bad for your situation). The only two options to remove the barrel is either picking or a jeweler's screwdriver and a couple shims. http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=39358&highlight=rebuild+lock

you can always drill out the center of the lock and allow it to fall in on it's self. When I get to work tomorrow I will see what the process is for removing the cylinder.
you need to have all the plastic trim around the lock cylinder off. then turn the key to the lock position, then right above the lock cylinder there will be a hole and you need to shove/apply pressure in that hole and then pull the lock cylinder out.
as for the key get a another key? use a spare/ get one cut/ go to toyota.
or just keep wiggling till she turns!

the key code is stamped on the passenger side door lock housing. 6 digits. Get that number and have toyota cut you a new key.
