Check if the screws at the side of your door are loose, then tighten it with a screwdriver as it might be the reason why your keys kept on being stuck whenever you insert them. Next, observe closely what happens on the keyway whenever you try to pull the key out, usually, it would pop out as you try to pull. When this happens, what happens inside is basically the cylinders inside aren’t lining up properly. The quickest solution to this is to simply press down the keyway as you pull the key out, this will keep the cylinders lined up properly as you remove the key.
