My daughters 2000 Saturn died while driving. When she tried to restart it nothing. Lights and radio come on but does nothing when turning key. When trying to remove it from the side of the road, we were faced with another problem. We can not get the car out of park. Two problems we don't know where to start.

Make sure battery has a full charge and connections all good. Does it start and run? Do the brake lites work? Usually, you step on the brake in order to shift. With some shift interlock systems there is a bypass button by the shifter, You press that button to shift into neutral with brake set. I don't know if this vehicle has that bypass button, you'll have to look.
If the vehicle is still sitting along side the road, call a tow truck, have them take it home or to a repair shop. It's no fun trying to work on a vehicle along side of a busy street.

If it won't fire off of starting fluid,time to check for spark.Remove a plug wire from a plug,and insert into the boot a medium sized phillips head screwdriver.Snap the screwdriver in,and lay it somewhere near a ground source,within a 1/4" from the ground source,but not touching it.Have someone crank the car over while you LOOK for a spark arcing from the screwdriver to the ground source.Do not hold the screwdriver as you may get a JOLT if you do.If no spark at all,try another plug wire.If no spark,you have an ignition problem.

SOURCE: Hi...my 2005 Saturn Vue (36000 miles) is dying on

I suggest that you take it to another mechanic, preferably one that specializes in electrical problems. It sounds like you have some type of electrical short somewhere and it will take some time to properly diagnose it. When the car is running, does the Check Engine Light stay on?

I was driving and the radio started going on and off also the dashboard lights started going on and off than it died and wont start. whats wrong?

if nothing comes on check the battery has a charge and that the alternator belt is intact. If they are both fine check the fusebox has not suffered damage. Does anything come on when you turn the key? Sounds a bit odd but the battery/alternator is where you should make a start
