Go to an auto locksmith.. It is very likely not a lubrication problem..
There is s small little dowel shaped piece of metal that's is in the tumbler that the locksmith will see and remove.. This piece wears down over use and can cause the key to catch and bind in the ignition.. I had the same problem and he removed this little piece and I was on my way.. I was told that this is common for these ignition locks..
All ignition safety features still work perfect.. I think it cost me $35

I was a locksmith for 42 yrs. Had my own company for the last 19 yrs.
Been retired 9 yrs.
Glad you are smart enough to know about a locksmith.
Hope you don't keep end lot of keys or weight on your key ring.
It's bad for the ign.
And the tri flow spray will cut down on wear & lub the ign.
Always make sure your steering wheel don't have pressure on the lock before you try to turn the key.
If it does wiggle the steering wheel.
Good luck.
