Hi Bob,

Thanks for the suggestion.  I've used the jiggle trick with it for years, but 
this time I think it's really stuck.  I actually have the whole lock assembly 
(which is a much beefier part than I expected) out of the car, and the lock is 
still not about to turn.  I'm thinking that the tumblers in the lock are shot, 
because the key is extremely loose when inserted.
