My key get's stuck in the ignition about 60% of the time. I have 3 keys, and originally, the one I used most was getting stuck. Then the second, now the third. If I have the key one specific side up when I put it in, it doesn't get stuck as much.
I'm a handy woman, and follow directions well. I'd like to fix this on my own if I can.
I'm wondering if it's my key that's getting worn down, and if so, would re-keying or perhaps re-tumbling the lock assembly make the difference?
If it's the lock assembly that's the problem, and I have to replace the entire thing, what is the simplest way of doing so?

Thank you for your time and efforts in helping me with this!
