Thank you for the additional info. I still could not get it out. I figured I would dry some teflon spray. I spayed a small amount on the outer edges of the barrel and some inside the key hole. I worked the key a few times and then it popped out. So, I am set for now. Thanks again for the quick replies.

Well the cylinder was stuck again after 2 uses. I tried to remove it again and it worked if I pushed the key in then pushed with the Allen wrench then pulled out the cylinder.
I took out the pin and cleaned it. It still hung up. I took out the inner piece and leaned that. Now, when I put it back it would not turn. I removed all of the keyed pieces, cleaned and reinstalled the pin and it works! Thanks for the help all.

I know this is an old thread, but I have a related problem. and hope someone here can help.
my problem is when I turn the key to start, I have to turn it all the way to the start and with lots of force to start it. if I just casually turn the key, it will not start. it has gotten worse and worse to the point where I have to try 2 to 3 times to start my car. I came across some posts and this one about how to remove the lock cylinder, so I was able to do this, and clean it with some graphite cleaner and spray some grease into the cylinder - I did not take apart the cylinder (yet) hoping cleaning and greasing would help but it did not. so my next step would be take apart the cylinder and figure out if certain tumblers or other parts need to be filed down in order for the key to turn more easily.
anyone has encountered this same problem and if you did, please let me know what you did to resolve this issue. thanks in advance!

hmmm. ok darn. I actually ordered a ignition lock cylinder from eeuroparts and wasn't going to muck around w/ mine until I got it in. so my problem sounds like it's the ignition switch? I found some posts on saab central and will follow those. sounds to be so much harder than the cylinder replacement, but oh well.
thanks guys!
