That is my first thought.

Other thoughts, try using the other key that came with the vehical. My normal key is
getting a bit touchy but the the other key on the fob I seldom use works just fine.

If no second key, take the VIN and your registration to a dealer and have them cut you a
new key from the codes.

Along those lines, if you've worn out a couple keys in the ignition
lock, it's about time to replace the lock.
