Do you ever lube the lock?
I think a lot of this ignition switch/key problem could be avoided if once or even twice a year you would lube the inside of the cylinder with a just off the counter tube of powdered graphite that you can "blow" into the lock when you squeeze the tube. On my 86 300E the ignition lock was very stiff after being in storage for 9 years. I lubed it immediatley and it has turned very easy ever since. I think Monday I will give both cars a shot.
