Peter---The key should come out by rapping it good with a brass punch
and a hammer. Try to hit up on it, as you knock it back. A properly
shaped crow-type bar could also be used from the back, forward. A little
WD-40 helps grease the way for this D-shaped key.  You could also try
locking on a large pair of Vise Grips, and levering from underneath one
jaw. Protect the crankshaft, or polish it afterward.
