Igniton Lock - Key won't turn

Symptons are as follows:
1) Shifter locked in reverse. Spring release on manual shifter is fine (5 speed 2.33 wagon)
2) Can't turn key in igntion. Chime used to go off as if key was left in car when key removed, but that stopped.
3) Steerring wheel remains unlocked.
So I think the ignition lock has failed somehow. Based on some of the posts I read I did spray with triflow and air cleaner but no luck.
Other questions:
Do I need to have this towed?
Should I force it?
is there anyway to get the car started even if I have to leave key in ignition in off position?
About hou much will this repair cost? Do i need a saab dealer to rekey?
Car is 2000 9-5 2.3 wagon. Manual transmission with 185k. It has been good to me, but shows some rot and it is beginning to be unreliable.
