You did not describe very precisely what you did ... so I had to guess.
A precisely formulated question is more likely to receive an answer
than one in which you type in all caps ...

This is not a matrix at all. A matrix should be a two-level list, with
every sublist having the same length. This is a three-level list, with
sublists of different lengths.
While I am not very familiar with the MAT format, I believe that the
problem is that it can only store matrices, but not ragged arrays.

MatrixForm is only for pretty printing. Do not use it before export.

If you refer to Out[6] then you should say exactly what Out[6] is.
