I agree, a petrolium based tire dressing on the rubber seals will help.
A cup of warm water always works to unfreeze my locks too. If you don't have warm water you could always pee on the lock too, I suppose.

Spray wd-40 into the lock after you shoot it with lock de-icer. Lock de-icer is hydrophillic, it attracts water and will cause the sliders and pins inside the lock cylinder to corrode, making 10 times more likey to stick. Use armorall, or silicone spray on your seals, if you dont have any put a little bit of used motor oil on a rag and wipe it down (ghetto, but it works)

I washed alot of cars when it was just about freezing out, I can tell you that hot water gives you more of a chance then cold water does, that and leaving the car running with the heat blasting, lol
if your water is starting out hot it gives you that much more time before it reaches freezing.

could you put something on the rubber seals to keep them from sticking, like armor all or vaseline or pam non-stick cooking spray?
