well, i play the sax, but if u want my opinion, then u should try using magnet,(if metal) or if it isnt metal carefully stick a pencil in the one end and get the rod out of other!

Well, as a piccolo player myself, I can't say that's ever happened to me, but I can try to help.
Do you have another rod? If so, try putting it in one end and pushing the stuck rod out the other, and try not to snag anything on the keys and damage them.
Just don't be afraid of it, a piccolo can withstand more than you'd think it could, trust me, I've marched with one for 3 years.

DON'T PULL IT OUT YOURSELF!!! You might crack it. Piccolos can NOT withstand more than you think. If it won't budge, take it to a repair shop. Better safe than sorry. Just ask an oboist.
