Get some penetrating oil, soak overnight. Usually works well for me.

Didn't think of that, but would be great if that was the case. Unfortunately I just have a standard key and the fob is out of the way so it's unlikely that I'm hitting the button. Makes me wonder if it's related to the alarm system?
