My wallet just won't synchronize and I have 10 bitcoins there. I need to use blockchain but I cannot get my import key. Can anyone please help me?

Blockchain.info can create a new wallet from an existing Bitcoin.org client's wallet.dat with a simple Drag and Drop:

The wallet.dat is in the data directory.

Start your bitcoind/bitcoin-qt with -rescan switch. Then it should synchronize after re-scanning the chain. Otherwise you can use RPC command dumpprivkey <bitcoinaddress> to export private key. Such an exported key you can import to another wallet with importprivkey <bitcoinprivkey> [label] [rescan=true]. You can also import it to your MtGox wallet.
