I was able to retrieve the pin, re-insert and push into place but this is a frequent recurring problem and no bike shop will touch it. Finally, while transporting the bike in the car, the pin fell out and is lost for good. I am sure as the bike is several years old now I can't even get a replacement part. Does anyone know what my options are?
Its hard to say options with out looking at what you have.

Things that come to mind are a replacement hinge pin from an appropriately sized bolt.
Welding the hing permanently unfolded.
