If you go into settings -> General ->Accessability ->Assistive Touch. If you turn that on it gives you a small circle, that can be moved around the screen. If you touch that, and then touch device, it gives you the option to Lock Screen. If you hold it for a few seconds it will allow you to turn off the phone, however you have to plug the phone into a power source in order for it to turn back on. It doesn't fix the button, but it may save some frustration of having to pay to replace it right away.
