Any idea if the battery in the key would sometimes keep key slot from allowing key in?
Thanks for everything. I appreciate it very much.

No, the fob key will not prevent insertion. Like PT said the switches are not the greatest and you don't need a Genuine Porsche one. eBay has them, even Ali Express. Although with the amount of work it takes I'd get a good one.
But, yeah, the lock can be a problem too and I think they respond to some light lube. You know that WD=40 cleans better than it lubes but it does leave some lube behind. I've not known of it to harm anything including plastic. But it does have solvents in it so I wipe it off viable surfaces and even clean those a bit afterwards.
One way to distribute a light lube is to blow air in behind where you insert the straw. Be gentle, a few pounds should do it. Use clean air but I think the cans for computers is not enough. Better than nothing and it's clean.
Cold weather always exacerbates the stiffness of all these parts.
Now wait until your clutch and brake pedal switches fail. Those are a barrel of fun too. Again, they are somewhat universal in the German world. In fact, a lot of the Genuine parts have a 996 number.
