Manny, I've had about 7 keys cut (2 from the dealership) and none of them work. Jiggling or not. So if you have a plastic brush wheel on a bench grinder or rotary tool, you can wear down your key like that.. otherwise, count yourself lucky you can even turn your ignition or door lock cylinder.

Dry powdered graphite is all you should use on lock cylinders. I've seen a variety of cylinders that people have used spray lubes on and on the worst of them the tumblers a frozen in a concrete like goo. DON'T use spray lubes!Some cylinders come from the factory with a white grease in them but even that stuff cakes and hardens and makes it tough to get the tumblers to move properly.
