As for the WD40, it may cause no harm, but I wouldn't use it on my key or the switch.
It may attract dirt & dust and stain your clothes. A graphite or dry lubricant is preferable. I mentioned the battery because it it might be easy to overlook & it seems like these vehicles are kinda dependent upon good electrical supply. If it is the battery, I would look into testing the alternator.

Graphite is crap and old school. It won't do anything for sticking wafers. The ignition locks come with a grease similar to white grease. Over time, with dirt, lint, and age, they get gummed up and stick. WD40 is a much better choice, followed by a silicone based lubricant.
Of course, if the key is turning the lock ok, then lube is not the solution.
