Most of the ignitions I have removed from other german cars have had two bolts on the top side that clamp a bracket down on to the column that holds the ignition. Usually the heads of the bolts are rounded off into little cones from the factory to keep people from tampering with them but I just cut slots into them with my dremel and turn them out with a screwdriver. Im not sure on the 944, I have looked at it from under the dash and it seems to be mounted pretty well up there. I would assume its something kind of like I said.

Clark's Garage has a nice write up on ignition switch removal. Not sure it's what you're looking for but it might help you.

951Porschiste: that is for a 944 which evidently had hex bolts. the 951 doesnt.
