Broken tire lever... Are you kidding?! :(

So I just had a new back wheel built, brought it home yesterday, and in the process of putting my relatively new (ridden for a week before I got the new set I was waiting on coming in the mail, became my "spare") Vittoria Rubino on, I BROKE my tire lever. So now I've got a tire that's halfway on, and god damn this thing is tough as nails. I feel like I'm going to end up hurting myself if I keep trying to get it on. Has anyone had a really tough tire installation before? Makes me wonder how people change tubes on the go... Anyway, while I remain transportation-less and hope for a ride to my LBS in the near future, anyone know of a substitute for a tire lever?
