Basically, you need to (1) type in the chords to the song into the Band-in-a-Box chord sheet, then (2) find a style that is similar to the song.

For #1, if you don't know the chords, you can find simple chord charts for most popular songs online.

For #2, use the StylePicker and look for 'RealStyles' in the genre (RealStyles start with an underscore). Try using the Title Browser and type in a popular song you know that has the feel and tempo you want.

This won't give you the melody... if you do want the melody as well, there are different things you can do.

Also FYI Band-in-a-Box can import MusicXML files, this may be of some help as well.
