Even the best stuff needs some maintenance. If it was unused for 6 months, and there happened to be some moisture in it, I can imagine there was some corrosion that caused it to stiffen up. Some WD-40 and a little patience should do the trick.
Also, even my well-oiled Kryptonite sometimes takes some fiddling with the key to get all the plates lined up. Not a big deal since they all move freely, but if one of them was a bit rusty I can imagine ending up with a chain as a fashion accessory.
