The first thing to do after checking the above (the shift lock cable) is to go to your dealer with the vehicle's VIN and have them cut you a new key. It only costs about 8 dollars, and will sometimes solve this problem. Saturn keys are made of brass, and wear out over time to the point that they will not turn in the lock cylinder. Do NOT try to go to a key shop and get the one you have copied, as it will only be a copy of a bad key. If a new key doesn't work, it is possible you will have to replace the lock cylinder, which in my opinion is best left to professionals. The cylinder must be assembled to the specs of your particular car, and although the installation isn't difficult, it helps to have a warranty on parts and labor in case something goes wrong. Hope this helps and good luck!
