Had a similar experience trying to remove an adjustable drop hitch when trading in my f-350. Took a lot of oil and quite a few whacks with a hammer before I could get the key in and turning.
Sad part was I did all of that work to get the pin out and somebody came out with paperwork questions and I flat forgot to remove the hitch. Went back to the dealer the next morning and no surprise I was told....it wasn't in there when they went over it
$250 lesson learned
Moral of the story....oil/grease/anti seize/whatever if you get one.
