I don't need to see a picture of the key.
The flags inside the tumbler are all gunked up.
Start by spraying a little PB Blaster, or Kroil, or even brake cleaner, on the key - continue to use. Repeat until the key engages correctly.
Graphite grease will only make the problem worse. You need something inside the tumbler to start diluting the mounds of gunk.
Patience.
