Your key getting stuck is usually unplanned. You may not have access to lubricants or other simple tools for removing a stuck key. Pushing in the plug does not need any tool, only knowing how it works. Check if the plug is loose (the small section surrounding the keyway), then push your key in as far as it will go.
The key may be hanging on the tumbler pins. Rough edges or imperfect copies can cause this to happen (as we stated earlier). Get WD-40 with a tiny straw nozzle that can get into spaces as tight as a keyhole.
Ensure you hold the application straw directly on the hole and spray Wait for a minute to get the key out from the hole.
If the WD-40 isn’t working or not available, then use graphite powder. Try as much as possible to fill the lock with graphite powder. Gently shake the stuck key and remove it. For broken keys stuck on the lock use the super glue type adhesive which is available in nearby stores to get out the key. Apply the glue on something strong like wire, or pin. Torch the visible part of the key and remove it.
