So recently I have had a harder and harder time turning my key in my ignition. This could be into the park position or into the on position. Has anyone ever dealt with this?

Like any lock cylinder this one needs lubing too. I had the same thing, shot some WD40 lube into the cylinder and first wiggled then turned the key around to all positions and bob's your uncle.

At least it's the first thing to try.

A quick shot of silicone spray fixes it right up for another year or two.

+1 to the above comments. Also, it took me a while to learn to push the key to the bottom right while turning it. My mechanic almost had me convinced to replace the ignition before someone here mentioned the trick.
