Key stuck in ignition, battery dead [2010 LT]

[Scooley01]

I went to start my 2010 Cobalt last night, and it had absolutely no power. I figured the battery was dead, so I went to take the key out - and it was stuck in the ignition! I poked around a bit and found the ignition release plunger and got the key out.

After looking online, it seems this is a known issue and GM has a recall out to fix it, so I just need to get it to the dealer. My question is, if I jump the car tonight in order to get the battery charged again, will it still have juice tomorrow morning to take it to the shop? Or will it have drained itself again? My roommate is the only one who can jump my car that I know of, and he's at work all day tomorrow from before the shop opens until well after they close.

A secondary question - has anyone gotten something serviced through a GM recall like this? Will they offer me a rental car so that I'm not stranded?

If the car stays on, no you won't have juice in the morning. If it shuts off, maybe.

They might offer a rental, but it's only a day long repair so might not. Up to the dealer really.

How can I tell if the car/accessory is still "on" once I've taken the key out? I didn't notice anything abnormal last time I drove the car, but my battery was drained when I tried to drive it next.

Alternatively, will the dealer pay for me to have it towed there?

In the "ON" position the car has dash lights and such.
In the Accessory position the radio can be turned on with the driver door open.
