Which part remains? Does the remaining part completely encircle the stud? You might get a nut cracker and crack it (depends on how much is left. You can cut the nut off with a Dremel tool, you might be able to do this without damaging the stud. Worst case scenario if you damage the stud is to hammer out the stud remnant and replace the stud with a new one, no big deal. You can get a tool that may grab the remnant of the nut and allow you to remove it, it depends on the shape of what's left. I got a set at Sears it looks like a socket but it has whorled teeth inside instead of the standard hex shape.

Zoom Zoom....
Take it to a good tire/wheel shop.
Like JustJim said, there are sockets that are like an E-Z out. Assuming there is enough space outside the locking nut, these sockets will grip the outside.
You can buy them yourself (a brand name is Turbosocket), but without air tools, it's frustrating to use.
G.luck.

If your doing it yourself. Get a torch and heat up the lug nut than try to use a punch/flat head and work it off. The heat will expand the metal making it so much easier to work off.
*edit Had to reword something.
21mm socket. torch and a impact gun is your friend. Only knock the socket on like 1/4 of a inch other wise your going to have a bitch of a time getting the lug out.
