Your dealer is full of sh!t. Reprogram the keys? Yeah, right - nice way for them to pick your pocket some more...
I bet that your column lock is covered under the recall and the dealer is just trying to get cash out of you. Call a couple of other dealers, or Nissan's Consumer Affairs (I think that's what it's called, an 800 number should be in the Owner's Manual) and see what they say.
If it really isn't covered under the recall, go back to the dealer and pound on the lock and you should be able to release it. After it's been released, drive out of that stealership like a bat out of hell and do as kenchan suggested - pull the fuse or clip the brown wire.
