I must be losing my vision because I thought you said you were using scissors to unscrew a screw!!!!

All kidding aside to please do not attempt any repairs on your clarinet by your self. If you do not have the technical know-how and the proper tools to fix the instrument you are only damaging your clarinet. Chances are you have already damaged the key sonewhat and it will probably need to be swedged in order to be tight again. It sounds to me like the key and the post are not aligned properly and the rod is getting stuck on the edge of the post. If you've been trying to force it in you could easily have damaged the threads in the post as well. Please just take it to a competent repair technician. Chances are they will screw it in for free which is a lot cheaper than paying to have a key refitted. If you want to learn instrument repair I suggest finding a repair technician who would be willing to give you repair lessons.
