Is the weather flap broken and hanging open?

It's water that has migrated inside the lock and frozen there. You need to displace the water (don't use WD-40; that stuff reeks).
Here's a quick temporary fix: Get a cigarette lighter. Heat up your key and stick it in the lock. Remove after a few seconds then do it again. The key should now turn.
What country are you in?
