On orange, you can call customer services from a landline phone, and they will be able to unlock it for you after probing you with questions for about an hour to confirm your identity. When it happened to me they asked about recent calls i had made etc. I would assume the same applies for other networks. Orange customer services can be reached on 07973 100123 or if you want to get through for nothing, call 0800 801080 then option 3,2 (i think) that basically gets you through to customer services!

If it`s also PUK locked, the sim is permanently locked unfortunately. The phone network can`t unlock it.
You will have to phone and ask if you can get a replacement sim. Usually about £10-£25 I believe.
