LS430 Key won't fit into ignition

Has anyone had this happen? Today I could not get my key to fit into the ignition on my 2003 LS430 UL (with only 64K miles). When I say it wouldn't go in, I mean it was hanging up right at the tip of the key. Trying the extra key didn't help. I considered just spraying some kind of lubricant in there and giving it a whirl but didn't want to do more harm than good. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Don't spray lubricants like wd-40 or oil into locks. Graphite power would be to the way to start.

Did you jiggle the steering wheel left and right rapidly?
