spray some good lub on the key and put it in slowly. keep spraying the key while putting it in a little further each time.
If this does not work for you take the steering wheel apart off and take the collumn apart untill you get to the ignition cylinder out and then spray it down.
If that does not work take the cylinder to the lock smith with your key and tell him or her to "Get Her Done!"
