Renewable Lubricants' Bio Penetrating Lubricant.
http://www.renewablelube.com/penetrating.html
I've had a can of it for years now. It works as well as anything else I've used and doesn't leave a solvent smell behind. It really does smell like corn. It's great stuff. Unfortunately, possibly hard to get.
I can't vouch for its water-proofing capabilities, and I'm not sure I'd spray it into a lock (I prefer dry lubricant for that), but for door hinges and other hardware in the house, this stuff is the real deal.

My main thing I really want is, ignition key lock, cause last week my friend ignition key stuck, no matter what we try, it wont work, so at the end he had it tow to his home then lock smith came over ( he should just let the lock smith come to walmart, instead got it tow home then call lock smith ).
anyway im looking for lubricant that prevent my lock from getting stuck year round.

I would use a dry graphite lubricant. Any liquid/spray lubricant that stays tacky tends to attract dust/dirt and will abrade the lock cylinder even further.
Additionally, I'm not sure I'd spray anything into the ignition lock cylinder, with electronics nearby. I have used the Renewable Lubricants BPL on my house locks before, and it works great to unstick them. I keep them free with the graphite lube.

I have a variety of lubricants, but it seems lately around the house, I have been using mostly CRC 3-36 Dry Film Lubricant. And probably a reason is because I bought a case of it on sale and still have much on hand.
For locks, the only thing I can recommend is graphite.
As for a generic lube, I like using PB blaster to remove rust, but it smells bad. If there is no rust, I like to use Jig-a-loo because it doesn't have a bad smell.
If you can find a BG products dealer, their penetrating oil does a better job of removing rust than anything else I ever used, however, it is much more expensive than anything else and hard to find.

Agreed on the graphite for locks.
I like the dry powder myself, never had a lock freeze or seize.
the liquid works, but it gets messy sometimes.
the powerder is a quick squirt.
Liquid wrench makes a dry lubricant and it's the one I usually use.
as for everything else.. PB Blaster, then Deep Creep/Kroil
Kroil is impossible for me to buy locally and Deep Creep has its place. but pb BLASTER just plain does it all.

Remmington . Rem-Dry lube for weapons or locks.Sprays on liquid,then dries in seconds to a very dry thin film with no residue build-up.
Ford uses White grease in their locks. That's what I use now on all car locks.
I don't have a favorite lube. I use Amsoil MP, WD40, spray grease, silicone spray, oil etc. Just depends what it's for.

For locks, I've used a light graphite loaded oil for several decades. The stuff is called Lock-Ease if I remember correctly, it's made for locks. Don't squirt it in the lock. Just shake the can, put some on the key and work the key in the lock several times. I do this with all our locks once a year in the fall and it keeps them working and ice free.
You should use a different lube for your different needs/requirements.
A motorcycle chain lube is great for hinges. It goes on thin and penetrates, then dries for a super thick excellent lube.
Locks? Any light lube. WD40 or such. Reapply not more than six months apart.

Very good product with good the benefit of becoming dry upon surface contact.
One of the most important and least thought about issues with lubricants is the unwanted residual wetness that attracts more dust and grit that actually increases wear and negatively affects the ability of the lubricant to properly lubricate over a long period of time.

If you've already dropped oil (10w30) on a key and inserted it or squirted some IN the lock, is it too late to use powdered graphite?
I don't know if it'd help or turn to sludge with the oil already in there.

The parts person at the Ford I worked at told me the Ford lock cylinders come with white grease. I would think once something had liquid, or grease in it would be too late.....

wd-40 is to thin for me. but it does have its uses.
