Grease will make pads stick, so don't do that - your best bet is to remove the key and clean the pad with methylated spirits on a cotton bud (Q-tip) to remove any traces of grease.
But if a cork pad has a deep impression in it and catches on the aperture, something firmer that's less likely to be chewed through is best all round - prevention is better than cure. Also checking the aperture hasn't got a burr around the outside edge as that will catch on a pad that has a deep impression.
