The phrase "turn ignition to remove" usually refers to a key that needs to be in the "on" position to allow removal of a specific part, often a component within a vehicle's dashboard or steering column. There's no single alternative method to remove it, as the "how else" depends entirely on *what* is being removed.
To suggest alternatives, I need more information. What exactly are you trying to remove? Knowing the make, model, and year of the vehicle (if it's a car part) or the type of device (if it's something else) would be very helpful.
