The saxophone is not a normal instrument in an orchestra. It will only be used in one if the composer or the director wants to have a specific sound or feel to the piece.
When it is used, it is part of the woodwind section.
Sadly, no. They would rather be drowned out by the string instruments, or they would outplay the other woodwind instruments because they have a much more open tone as they are perceptibly louder.
Another dilemma is that the saxophone was made in 1840 and did not become popular until the early 1900's. As most Classical Music was written between 1730 and 1820, there was not an instrument to put into the music.
If a saxophone is put into a symphonic orchestra most of the orchestral repertoire for sax is French music; as there is a difference in the pieces with great American or Spanish orchestras.
The saxophone is very rarely used in a classical orchestra, but is part of the woodwind section when present.
Most orchestral music doesn't use the saxophone, so if anything, it's a guest instrument.

There is a lot of debate over this, as the saxophone has the body of a brass instrument yet the mouthpiece of a woodwind.
