To my understanding, you must turn the key to the ACC position before you can remove the cylinder, as it has tabs to hold it in place. Therefore, my recommendation would be to pull off the steering wheel and plastic housing to gain access. From there you should see what's going on and make your fix. I read about someone drilling their cylinder, but I don't know how successful they were.
btw, did you try graphite or "gentle" taps with a hammer? either may free it up enough to turn the key...then you could remove it and get a new ignition. thesaabsite.com sells them pretty cheap, VIN matched to your door locks, and they're a supporter of TSN :-)
also search the BB for frozen ignition, there are many.
I added a few below.
