Generally Peugeot keys begin to experience issues as the key blade wears out. This wear causes the mouth of the key to stop entering the lock correctly which causes more wear on the locks themselves. The issue can be addressed by simply changing the blade. It is also possible to have the teeth of the keys rehabilitated so they work more smoothly. This is something only a fully certified auto locksmith can do, but it can save you a lot of trouble and cost in the long run.
