Mines does this too. I just persevere and jiggle the key to get it to go - I think the keys are just made of cheese, seems to be a common issue.
that seems ot be how it works in the Fazer, but it shouldnt work like this. the barrel should be made of harder steel pins so that the key is the part which takes the majority of the wear. that way when it wears out, replacing the key will fix the issue. It seems Yamaha have used a similar grade of steel for both parts so they wear equally though...
