126 driver's door lock question

84 SD, daughter's car. A few weeks ago she turned the key to the left to open the locks and it stuck in that position, wouldn't return to vertical. I jiggled and twisted for a while and eventually it returned to vertical. I put in some graphite and it's worked ok since. BUT, when returning from the left position, you can feel it 'catching' just as you turn it back towards vertical, as if something is not quite right. Anyone know what is happening and how to fix it? If it gets stuck in the left position the key can't be removed. It doesn't have that 'catch' when you turn it to the right to lock the doors and then back to vertical.
