This isn't a trivial problem. You can find detailed instructions here:

once you get the steering column open (considering the ignition lock is in the steering column), there should be some sort of pin on or near the barrel. just push that pin while turning the key or anything that can fit in the slot (screwdriver jammed in) and the cylinder should just slide out. At least that's the way it worked for me in my car.

Im pretty sure that you need a special tool from mercedes at some point in taking that apart. But since its so old you may not need the tool.
