Can I put my W221 into neutral without the key?
I need confirmation on this. If there is a tool that takes it off, but missing, could I use anything else to pry it into neutral?
If this is true I'm going to have the semi-truck pull into my driveway for D-Day.

I haven't looked for your specific question, but you can get the owners manual online here...

Its a 4matic so all four wheels are not locked. I will have it forklifted of the transport truck tomorrow. The original forklifting left no damage, yay!
I've also arranged for a flatbed to pick up after its lowered. I informed them that ask wheels are b locked and they are going to put it on four skates before hauling it on the tow truck.

Without DAS - no. In a pinch you can always use food trays under the locked up wheels. They usually slide nicely and will protect tires when vehicle is dragged on flatbed.

i don't see how one could do it with DAS even. DAS would not connect to the car unless ignition was on. And if you have the key to turn the ignition on, you don't need DAS to put it into neutral...
