I had the same problem with a Mazda I bought with 217k miles on it (it was 
cheap) on the drivers door lock.  A squirt of Tri-Flow worked great to lube up 
the lock.  Do NOT use WD-40 or similar, it will attract dirt and make the lock 
even worse over time.  I got the Tri-Flow from a locksmith, but any bike shop 
has it-it doesn't attract dirt to bike chains....
