Remove ignition lock barrel when you can't turn the key

DSG 2010 GOLF GTI

I have the lock cylinder out of the car but I cannot turn the ignition key to line up the dot to use the paperclip method of barrel lock removal.

I am replacing the lock cylinder so happy to destroy it but wondered if anyone had any tips to remove the barrel lock when you cannot turn the key.

Cheers
