The 940SE is a 960 so it has the soft high security keys which wear much faster and the whole lock system is a PIA.

You may try a new key ordered from dealer, if still available, they were quite reasonable a few years back, like $35. If that doesn't work, you will need a new ignition. You may be able to remove the old one depending on how far the key turns, or if not, it has to be drilled out. In the past I have used 850 ignitions, they are the same as the SE. Used they are quite cheap, new, not! I rekeyed my last 940SE with an 850 ignition and 740/940 locks in the doors and the trunk. One of the things I hate about the 1991 SEs...
