If the 3.5mm plug has been broken within the jack, you would be best advised to entrust its removal to the technicians at the Genius Bar of your local Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP).

The technicians have the appropriate tools to extract the broken plug from the iPad:

You will have to remove the broken part from the jack.

There's a mechanical switch inside the jack.
