I presume they are seized in position due to lack of use. You have not clarified if the Key will actually go into the Barrell of the Lock. I would suggest a good dose of WD40 into the Lock and then coat the Key with Vaseline and retry having given the WD40 some time to work. Use only gentle force. You could also take off or partially remove the Door Card's to get access to the Barrell's. I know I had a 406 with a lock issue a few year's ago and I resolved it by getting access to the Barrell and removing it from the Door then freed it out.
