Try spraying WD40 into the switch area to lubricate and see if that solves the problem. If not, do a search for "ignition switch year/make/model," to find the part. you'll probably find instructions online as well. It's typically a do it yourself job, but disconnect the battery first and observe precautions while working under the dash so you don't accidentally set off the airbag.
If the key comes out in any position besides lock, the lock not the switch needs replaced. Most commonly caused by years of heavy keychains. They pretty easy to change out and not to expensive, typically under 20. Sounds like the little springs are worn. This will fix problem of being able to remove key in acc position. And in lock position should prevent a battery drain.

Put some pressure on the steering wheel in one direction or the other this may take the pressure off the cylinder itself and allow you to do what is needed...hope this works.
SOURCE: 94 Saturn...Stopped the car and ignition key stuck
Unfortunately this model of saturn is known for this problem. Try tapping the head of the key lightly with a small hammer and then while shaking the wheel back and forth try to turn the key. The only known permanent fix is key cylinder repalacement.

Did you check the alternator? if it is faulty the car will drain all the power from the battery until it goes flat
