I had to paint my French patio door. I removed the latch lock and the
deadbolt lock, a 30-year old Schlage product. Both locks are brass but,
being outside locks, they are somewhat corroded.

The deadbolt lock has keys for the inside and outside. When I reassembled
the deadbolt lock, the key would move the bolt, but the key cannot be
removed from the inside cylinder. The key turns the cylinder but the key is
stuck in the cylinder.

I was thinking of inserting some liquid wrench through the key-lock next to
the stuck key. Would that be OK or gum things up completely

Liquid Wrench may or may not work, I don't know???

Graphite based Lock-Ease is what you want, your local hardware or auto
parts store should have it.

No photo shows up on the link?

Is the keyway cylinder move outwards when you pull the key?

Try pushing on the keyway cylinder, pushing it in and hold it as you
jiggle the key up and down to slide it out. Go good chance it will
come out.

Was the key left in the cylinder for a period of time? IOW, did it have time
to corrode in place? If not, you may not have the lock aligned properly and
the key pull isn't where you think it is.

Take the cylinder out and soak it.

Nothing but adds loaded.

Take the lock apart again. Behind where the key goes in, there may be a
screw on cap, that holds the plug in. Might have to depress a pin, and
tighten the screw on cap a bit.

Liquid wrench (and graphited lock fluid) tend to dry up after a while. I use
WD-40, or spray silicone.

If the key worked before you removed the lock, you did something wrong
when you put it back on the door (or broke something in the lock).
Remove the lock again, try to remove the key with the lock off the door.
Liquid wrench or WD40 should be ok to use, silicone spray is better
(comes in spray cans similar looking to the others). If key still wont
come out of lock with the lock off the door, and some lubrication added,
take the lock to a locksmith, or just replace it.

I finally got the see the pic. The OP can try to push on the "keyway"
cylinder, and hold it. Pull the key out. Likely pins are froze against
the key cuts.

Ah, soaking the cylinder in a solvent, perhaps followed by a light lubricant,
should do it then.

Pick up some air tool oil and soak the assembly in that for a day or so.

LOL...

You are putting the lock together improperly...

Bolt position (either extended or retracted) is
important...

Also why are you leaving a key in the cylinder
during assembly unless that is a required step
in the process...

Sounds like a "timing" issue -- bolt state, keyway
plug position (should be empty at key pull) and
the orientation of the tailpiece from the exterior
cylinder are all factors which can cause your
problem...

Status report:

I finally got the key out.

Google to the rescue: Pointed me to the U-tube video:

I adjusted the setting and out came the key.

Thanks everyone

With new eyes this morning, I see your double deadbolt is a Schlage. You
likely have a tailpiece timing error. Very, very common problem.

The key won't come out if the lock is between the locked and unlocked position. This would be the first thing I would suspect.

Thank you also. I just fixed a lock with a bit of this problem using that video.
I just had to tighten up that adjustment a couple notches.

Thanks for your fix. This lock came out of a metal door?
