I would say the only way to figure out whats wrong, is take the seats out and the cover off the shifter assembly and take a look. It takes a speical socket or some ingeninuity to get the 3 three star nuts loose to get the shifter assembly out of the car.
I'm not sure if the ignition switch could bind enough to cause the key not to turn but it could be a problem with the gears between the key cylinder and the ignition switch.
The Saabs I've worked on have all had the Reverse lockout disabled. So if its not it may be causing a problem.
Don't know about the 5th gear maybe need adjusting or motor mounts?
Good luck you probably need to get it running to see whats really up with 5 gear and what you have. Beware If it was not maintaned it could take alot of time & $$$ to get up and going reliably.
