Try to lightly tap your key, while in the ignition with a soft mallet or hammer - SOFTLY! Mine does the same thing, and just a light tap or two and it works fine. The tumblers are apparently getting hung up.

I own a 2004 Suzuki Verona, and the ignition key just froze stuck. So, what I did was spray the ignition key with WD-40. You might have to spray it 2-3 times. What happened is all the shavings from the key itself have gunked-up the tumblers in the ignition key, and by spraying it with WD-40, it removes all the shavings from the tumblers. Afterwards, you should be able to turn the key without any more problems. Just make sure that you put a drip rag or pan underneath the ignition key. Good luck.
