If you're particularly worried, a light oil coating will keep the oxygen away from the steel and prevent further corrosion - so long as there's no mechanical friction on the piece to wear away the coating, it'll last indefinitely.

Whatever gun oil you have on hand should do just fine until you can talk to your re-blueing person :-)

In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure-dome decree
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea
