"My way."
For example, if you're asking a person for directions, you would say "I'm lost, can you please help me find my way?" Or if you are late for an appointment because you got lost, you might say "I'm sorry I'm late; even though I printed out the directions I still had trouble finding my way here."

Yes of course.
I've lost my way. Can you give me a hand, please!
Certainly.
Please tell me how to get to 245 boulevard?

Both "ask my way" and "for my way" sound awkward if you're referring to directions and getting lost, to be honest. While actually sociliting help, you wouldn't refer to it as "asking my way" or "asking for my way," you would say "I asked for directions" or perhaps (if you want to use "way") "I asked him to point the way to...".
