The key cylinder might need to be removed, in addition to Bob Smith's suggestion of sliding the collar down the shift rod to disengage it.
The SAAB repair manual has a description of the process.
You have to turn the key a few degrees to align the key slot with a pin in the housing, then push the pin in, and the cylinder should slide out. I was trying to get a 99 key out the housing and discovered that I was turning the key a lot further than I should have ... it took me a while to figure that out. The process on the 95/96 is difficult because of the location of the pin access hole. The manual shows how to make a hooked tool from a piece of wire to access the pin.
