If you've lost your keys, your best course of action is to:
* Call a locksmith: A qualified locksmith specializing in automotive locks can likely create a new key for your van.
* Contact a roadside assistance service: Many roadside assistance programs can dispatch a locksmith or tow your vehicle.
* Contact your insurance company: They may have resources to help with key replacement or towing.
Trying to force the shifter or tamper with the mechanism is strongly discouraged. It's far more costly and risky than simply calling a professional.
