The problem is probably caused by having a heap of junk hanging off the key ring, that causes heaps of wear on the barrell and usually stuffs it.
If you replace the barrel you may be able to get the barrel set for your old keys, not sure, need a locksmith, if you replace barrel and keys then you will need to get them programmed to your vehicle as the keys talk to ECU as well as the key fob, keys cut to suit but not programmed will not start the vehicle, key will turn engine will turn over but won't run.
Best to buy from the US as you will need a mortage if you get them from Jeep.
I'd see what a locksmith thinks, I mean a proper one not the fella in the shopping centre.
PS: try a squirt of silicon spray in the barrel, only a small bit.
