Breaking open a padlock

[Crazy Horse]

Got a slight problem - while on vacation, I locked my car into the garage. It's an old school garage door, which is locked by padlocking the bolt. Anyway, went to get the car out this morning, the lock was a bit stiff, so I tried to force it and the fecking key broke off inside the padlock, trapping my car in the garage.

 

Before I call a locksmith, I thought I'd try the good folks here to see if anyone knows a quick and easy way to break open a padlock with a key inside it. Would a hacksaw work?

 

I should point out, I am not a burglar, neither am I this man - http://www.seacoastonline.com/2005news/080.../news/56211.htm
