Stuck key!

Can anyone shed any light on why I can't get my key out of the ignition of my '67 A100.

I've recently bought the van from Sacramento, and I'm sure the cold weather of the UK is not the issue!

Spray some silicone or other light lubricant into the cylinder, down along side the key, the pins inside are hung up.

Ah ok, is it a common problem?

Not really, more of a age & maintenance issue, had the same thing happen with my van. After getting the key out I used electrical contact cleaner to flush out all the old gunky lube and dirt, let it dry then used a lock lube, works great now.
