Default Key stuck in ignition

Anyone have the issue of having a key stuck in their ignition. Had a copy made this evening, unlocked the doors no problem, went into the ignition no problem but just won't come out... Any suggestions?

If this is a newly cut key it may have some rough edges, I would try spraying some silicone lube in along side the key and see if you can work it out. Side pressure on the steering wheel can also jam the lock.

Any hints to where one may find some of this magical silicone lube? I assume AutoZone or the likes but you never know...
