Hopefully some else may be able to help you. I have done the exact same thing on my apartment deadbolt and I had to dissemble the lock turn the bar and reassemble the lock. It would not pick back to the correct position
good luck but i think you will have to take it apart to fix the problem

LOL, i fixed it people!, this had me sweating !!, the problem was actually at the top of the long, the pins that should stay there when you rotate the lock starting entering the plug(right word?) so i was looking at the wrongs side, when i saw this, it took me about 10 sec just moving em back up with my pick and it worked YUS, by the way, this is the first lock i managed to pick !!, thanks for the help people, il probably be here again when i break another lock X(
