Is it below freezing when this happens? Maybe there's water in lock and it's freezing. Even if it's not below freezing, have you tried spraying some wd40 into the key hole? There's actually better stuff to squirt into the key hole...look for a product that contains graphite and try that. If below freezing, I've also seen people use a cigarette lighter to heat up there key and then insert the key, wait a few seconds for the heat to melt the ice and then try turning the key.
