A mechanically-inclined friend was over and took a try at it. Finally he figured out how to get the cylinder in. The bottom part had to be installed first, then maybe the steering lock had to be pushed in so the bottom piece could get below a little ledge in the housing. And then the lock cylinder was able to be pushed into place. Key seems to work properly now!
I can't wait to get the ignition/steering wheel housing back into the car to be able to finally drive it -- we bought it in December and it's been waiting ever since.
(Not sure if I posted it originally -- it's an '89 9000). Just in the unlikely case someone else needs the info.
And another PS. I ordered from a site sponsor and thought it would be an aftermarket part, but it came in Saab packaging and seems to be a genuine Saab part. Another parts supplier had said the same part was on an indefinite backorder from the factory, so I'm glad it all worked out!
