HELP! can't stick it in.....and pull it out.

Ok, this has been going on for a couple of days and it's starting to irritate the sh%t out of me. I'm having problems with my driver side key hole. It seems like theres something inside it that makes it hard to stick the key in and it also gets on the way when I'm pulling the key out (makingit harder to pull out) Has anyone had this problem?? Any ideas on what the problem could be?
Thanks in advance.

is your key bent?
have you squirted a lil wd40 in the keyhole?

you could also unbend a paperclip and use it to open the lil flap on the keyhole and look inside to see if maybe there is something in there..

if that dosent work.. i dunno.. get the keyless kit?

Exactly right!!! go to an auto parts store and buy some graphite lube for your key hole. its not an actual grease but more of a powder. once you do this, your key will turn very smoothly.

Dont put WD-40 in the key hole
