I assume this is a tilt column? if so they are more prone to wear, but the fixed columns can do it too. If tilt, then tilt the wheel all the way down and from the top of the column look down between the two sections where it tilts. You will see a metal piece right on top and it moves when you turn the lock cylinder. Try to spray that piece and direct spray back towards the steering wheel.
What has happened is there is an actuator piece that transfers the lock cylinder motion to a metal rod that travels down the top of the column to the the ignition switch. This actuator piece is what wears out and causes the bind. Sometimes tilting the wheel in another position will help turn the key.
You can also remove the lock cylinder easily to lube the cylinder and the actuator gear. Locate the small hole right where the emergency flasher goes into the column, you will need a small pic, piece of coat hanger or thin screwdriver to push into that hole. Turn the ign cylinder to "run", push button inside hole and pull cylinder out.
