If you already have an IRA set up with your bank or another financial institution, all you have to do is write a check or transfer the money to your IRA account. If you need help, a teller would be able to give you instructions specific to your situation.

When a CD matures can you use it to buy a new IRA and get a tax deduction?

If you are eligible to make a deductible IRA contribution, you can use funds from any source including a maturing CD to make that contribution. You are not eligible to contribute to an IRA unless you have "compensation income." Compensation income consists of taxable wages, net self-employment, and alimony. Your compensation income must be greater than or equal to the amount you are putting into the IRA. There is nothing special about using the proceeds from a maturing CD to buy an IRA. As long as you are eligible to make the contribution, feel free to use funds from the maturing CD or any other source. Of course, if the maturing CD is already in an IRA, you can't get a deduction for buying another IRA. And you can't put more than $5000 ($6000 if you are over 50) into an IRA in 2009 no matter where you get the money from.
