If your car has an automatic transmission, you can't pop the ignition with a screwdriver. This is because the screwdriver will not be able to engage the starter motor. If your car has a manual transmission, however, you can use a screwdriver to pop the ignition. First, locate the small hole in the center of the ignition switch. Then, insert the tip of the screwdriver into this hole and turn it clockwise. The engine should start and you'll be able to drive away!
