Horizontal is the correct position of the key for removal of the cylinder. There is a small hole above the cylinder. Something to fit the hole is inserted to push down a spring loaded retainer pin in the cylinder while pulling on the cylinder. Your problem with the broken key is the lack of some way to pull. If you can remove the handle from the trunk you might position the cylinder where a penetrating fluid will soak it and help free it.
