Graphite powder is the best lubricant for locks. Put some on the key.
Otherwise you might want to try an electronics cleaner spray.
It's not so much lubrication you need, you want to get the accumulated muck out of there.

Or you could be a plank like me and buy it online without reading the advert carefully. I bought a tub, the size of a grease tin, of the b*****y stuff.
Not only will I never use that much in several lifetimes I'm also scared to breathe when I open the lid.
