If you want some help, you're going to have to provide more details. For instance, what were the last circumstances when everything worked right? What does (or does not) happen when to insert the key-- does it seat normally in the cylinder? Is the transmission fully in reverse (assuming that, as I think is standard, the car needs to be in reverse in order to turn the ignition to full off position)?
One likely scenario is that the last time it worked, you shut the car off in reverse and pulled the keys, but the next time you went to drive the car the key/ign cylinder failed and the car will neither start or permit release from reverse. If this scenario is even close, then it begs the question of how your 'mechanic' has been able to diagnose the problem. Does he make house calls? Has he worked on c900s before? Who towed the car, and how did they winch it up or move it-- I trust not against the reverse-locked tranny?
Details would be helpful...
