It'll be frozen. Mine does it all the time. WD40 used to work for me, but it doesn't now

A kettle of boiling water on the outside of the cap works evrytime for me even when it reaches -12 here!!!
Sometimes I have used a lighter to heat the blade of the key up and then tried it in the lock, sometimes it takes a couple of goes.
I only have one key and its a real pain!
