USPS will charge you a "decent" amount if the mailbox is broken or has visible damages. A spray lubricant might be an option, but it has a sharp smell, and the black, oily liquid can eventually flow out of the lock. A more primitive solution would be to keep the ice pressed against the key for 30 seconds. The ice makes the metal lock contract, and then the stuck key becomes free, especially if the lock pins held the burrs. Carefully turn the key and take it out. I suggest hiring locksmith services like locksmith e6, with qualified and skillful specialists.
