That depends on what's wrong with the steering lock; there are several parts in the mechanism.
Removing the steering wheel is the most hazardous; the air bag can discharge, causing serious injury, not to mention the fact that they are expensive.
Once the steering wheel is out of the way, make certain that the locking pin is working properly, often it's just an issue of lubrication and you don't really need any parts.
But the overwhelming majority of steering wheel lock problems are related to the lock mechanism binding up because the wheel is pulling to the side. You should be able to move the steering wheel a tiny amount if you work at it. Try turning the key as you move the wheel. Often that's all it takes.

Your 1995 Saturn ignition seems to be lock how can you unlock or do you need to replace the ignition switch?
Some times you can just jiggle the steering wheel back and forth as your try the ingition. The problem is common with LS2 Saturn steering locks; the steering lock must be engaged for this to work. If it isn't, use the above method to get it to lock.Once the steering lock is engaged you turn the steering wheel hard to the right as you turn the key in the ignition. This will usually free the switch up. Saturn keys are made of a very soft material and wear down significantly over time. USE CAUTION NOT TO USE SO MUCH FORCE ON THE KEY or it could snap off in the ignition. The brute strength should be applied to the steering wheel, not the key!
