Theres this graphite thing at auto stores. Worked really well in my moms van door, might work well in your ignition as well, since it is both pin and tumbler locks. just shoot some in there, hump it with your key, then it should be easier.

I am pretty sure you can even buy lock lubricant from Walmart.
