Graphite spray, or they do make an actual tool to lube locks. It's called Motomaster lock lube. When i lived up north used to keep a bottle of it in a magnetic box under the car.

I have used lithium grease (from an aerosol can with a small plastic WD-40 type straw to deliver the grease) in both the door lock and ignition and it works great - no issues!
