I used this when I froze a lock, worked for me. http://www.amazon.com/Victor-V500-Lock-De-Icer-Aerosol5/dp/B000AMKU58
Every spring the hardware stores and gas stations sell lock de-icer for a quarter. I see them for $1.50 most of the time.
The flashlight trick is cool, but keeping one of those de-icers in your pocket is a good winter EDC. The bigger problem is having your door be frozen shut and pulling your door handle clean off. I used to keep a full size de-icer can at my desk to avoid that.
Can you tell me what state you're in? I'm a MN girl, born and raised and would like to give you accurate advice ;-)
Brace yourself! [There's many options] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000HACYNY/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1415070970&sr=8-1&pi=SX200_QL40) and you're going to need one... But I can tell you, more expensive is not always better.
[We live where there are no trees] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000AMKU58/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?qid=1415071205&sr=8-3&pi=SY200_QL40) so this comes in handy.

Edit: entry
They make an actual product for this.

WD-40 is not really made for anything but loosening stuck things, once it evaporates it no longer lubricates very well.
Try a lock deicer if its is for sure frozen or use a dry graphite spray in the lock after the WD-40 to keep it nice and free.
WD-40 loosens really well but isn't a lasting effect. Spray graphite doesn't loosen well but lasts. They are a perfect compliment to each other.
I suggest you get these. I had them on a keychain only for the winter months for each vehicle.
