    Probably water. Thawing it out won't do any good until you get the water out whatever is freezing. Thaw it out again and give it a good coating of WD-40.

    I had the exact same problem. The battery was dead when I went to start the car the other morning. 'No problem', I thought, 'I'll just pop the hood give the battery a charge'. Hood frozen key stuck in ignition. What I did was remove the front grill and pop the hood latch with a screw driver. Once the battery charged, the car started, and once it was warm the hood latch un-froze.
