For a worn key, is it steel or brass? A brass key may be well worn by now.

Does pulling it out a hair while turning allow it to work better? Does lifting it while turning make it work better?

I recall yours uses a separate ignition key, but if not then any trouble using it in the other locks? Do you have a spare key? Does it work any better? Compare the keys for wear with the backs flat to a surface.

Do you have more than 2 or 3 keys on the key ring, garage door opener, metal fob, church key, etc.? A heavy key chain hastens wear of both the key and the keyway (as I learned the hard way).
