This can happen when the keys become worn with use. But sometimes it can be just the opposite - the wafers in the lock could just be sticky because of not being used (due to the remote).

First thing to try is to spray plenty of WD40 or similar light penetrating lubricant into the keyholes. Then jiggle the keys around inside the lock for a good few minutes to make sure that everything is sliding nice and freely.
