Pete,
Try a blast of WD40 or a light penetrating oil. This may release the
binding pins or springs that are holding the key.
But that's not a permanent answer--generally when these, or other
inexpensive locks, bind they are just a few uses away from becoming
totally jammed. Plan to remove the lock for close inspection or
replacement.
