Mines the same. I might try WD40 to clean then drop a bit of oil on my key to lubricate. Good idea?

I'd go with the penetration spray, then put the key in and turn the key a few times (from lock to "off" position), let it all penetrate, then put a bit of oil down there. Occasionaly my key barrell gets a bit stiff, but when I notice this i just spray down some penetrive spray (AC90 for me) and it smoothens things back up again

As everyone else says, oil/wd40 will do the job!

Where can you get new keys cut. Are they just a standard key than any key cutting place can do.

My Key wont turn unless i push it upwards as i turn it

Had the same problem a few years back with my curvy, I got a set of blank keys from my dealer and took them to a local key cutter. Not sure how much a blank key can cost, got both mine for next to nothing as it was a cancelled order.
