Since you posted this 8 months ago, hopefully you might have got into your car by now. But for the benefit of anyone still locked out of their car....
The ignition key contains a conventional mechanical key which can be used to open the doors. The top 1cm or so of the key (loop for keyring) should pull out.
According to the manual, you can also open the boot by rotating the Saab badge out of the way (but judging by the illustration in the manual, I'd need to remove the spoiler first to get clearance).
But note - you still won't be able to bump start your car - the steering lock is powered by the battery.
