If that doesn't work, the lock cylinder might have been changed.

No sexual innuendos above, at all.
If your ignition key opened your glovebox it's because the lock was shot. The glovebox on early cars takes a different key just like Porschephile mentioned. You should not have to play with it, it will lock and unlock easily with the correct one-side cut key. Look at Porschephile's picture for the differences.
