I've got a '98 900, and have the same issue. -1F in Milwaukee for me, and I've had some issue with both the door locks and ignition.
I can tell it's a temperature thing for me, the pop-up return of the key switch starts returning up slowly below 15F for me, when I turn the car off... I'm wondering if it's the grease or other parts binding due to varying thermal expansion rates?
I haven't yet tried lubricating the mechanism, but I've noticed it on the coldest few days for the last 2 years, and no problems the other 10 months a year. Take that at face value, but in my case, it hasn't been an urgent issue :)
