I had the same problem my car said it was in the off position but the key looked like it was a little too the right, but if you look down at where your gas pedal is, there should be a cable to the right jiggle that up and down and your key should turn all the way to the left and you can take it out.
Hope this saves you frustration and money
Yes the engine from a 2004 will fit a 1999 body.

The fuel filter can be found in the rear of the vehicle on a 2004 Oldsmobile Alero. The filter is located directly under the trunk area.
The final year for production for the Oldsmobile Alero was 2004. The exact weight of the General Motors vehicle depends on year and option groups. The 2004 Alero had a curb weight of 2996-pounds.
VERY CAREFULLY !
Oldsmobile stopped making Alero in 2004 and GM stopped making Oldsmobile in 2004, so some mistake here?
I get about 27mpg combined highway and city with my 2004 Alero

The 2004 Oldsmobile radiator is located behind the front grill. The radiator will be in the front of the engine compartment.
The 2004 Oldsmobile Alero is safe for E10 ethanol-gasoline blends. It is not approved for E15 or E85, and those blends must not be used in this vehicle.
your alero does not have a fuel shut off these switches are used mainly in ford vehicles.
