That little "door" that used to slide closed when you took your key out probably quit sliding so when you bike gets wet (rain,washing,etc) a little water finds it's way into the hole. You are supposed to lube that hole when you change your oil. Start doing that and this will probably never happen again. Besides the key recess makes a great little pool for water to hang out in and get into your keyhole!
