When I try the equation for temperature using pv^k=pv^k the temperature becomes too high to be practical. Is there a way to add in ionization of the gas?

Get a copy of Liepmann & Roshko, Elements of Gasdynamics.

Long before ionization, the diatomic species (O2 and N2) undergo dissociation, somewhere upwards of 7000K if memory serves.
 
p.s. are you trying to solve re-entry type heating flows? If so, I can try and dig up a reference for you.
