I have to say I've not had this problem with my SVT but my daughter's Cavalier does it frequently. I've heard of spraying or smearing something on the door gaskets but I don't remember what it was. A little help, please.

Silicon spray.
Silicon dielectric grease works too.

that, and avoid power washes and high-pressure water directly on them.

YES yes
OPINION - spray gets all over the place,the grease doesn't and it stays longer on the rubber....

That happened to me yesterday, I had to go into work, FINALLY get my car door unstuck, and the latch is frozen, so it wont friggan stay closed  . So I ended up having to take my mom's car to work and put my car in the garage to thaw . While I was at work I noticed a can of "Windshield/lock deicer for 1.50$. I figured it would be a good investment.

 reminds me of a few years ... this happened to my neighbor (at the time we didn't have a garage), she was quite jealous that although we had to climb in through the passengers' side, we could at least get in our car and use it!

Yeah, silicon spray works for me.
When I do get a door freezing shut I'd PUSH hard around the edge of the door along where door gasket is, so that ice gets cracked and door easily opened.
