I also suggest cleaning the pads and the tone holes with lighter fluid. You can clean the pads with alcohol too, since flighter fluid and alcohol since each can sometimes work better depeneding on the type of dirt.
If you use soap and water, and I see no reason to do that but you can try, then make sure to remove all soap, or else they might get even more sticky.
Replacing the pads can help but the question is whether you can replace them yourself, since yo uwanted a DIY repair.
As far as the binding key, it's possible that it's so borderline and only get stuck in some situations like different weather, etc. The problem might be the key getting stuck between the posts like Paul suggested, but it's also possible that, if it is mounted on pivot screws, that it is getting stuck between the screws only and then sanding the ends almost certainly wouldn't help (unless it happens to get stuck on the very end).
