Ergo, the lock *looks* straight but is off enough that the tumbler pins aren't fully aligned, keeping the last pin from being able to push into the lock bezel releasing the tumbler. (The pin is against something solid, so can not move) Have you tried gently wiggling the key as you push it into the lock in an attempt to realign the tumblers and get the last pin to "fall" into place?
