Couple of things first lubricate a lot Graphite dry, silicone anything but LOTS of it as if you are trying to wash crap out.
Next try vibration, PLan 1 insert your key grab it with a par of vice grips using something that offers a lot of rythmic vibration, a finishing sander or something of that sort hold the vibrating item against the vice grip and gently work the key back and forth. Vibration 2 use a cheap electric tooth brush and a key blank slot the tooth brush for the blank and repeat..
Lastly have you really pissed anyone off lately? Not long ago one of our clients exes super glued every lock on his 99 honda. This involved find a small basting syringe and filling it with acitone and "washing" the locks. which sucked cause acitone takes the paint right off.
