The locking gas cap on the car is stuck and won't come off. The weather has been below freezing. Could it be frozen shut?

Sure. Pour some hot water over it.

Unlikely, but moisture could freeze. If the key won't turn, get a "hot key" and use it. You could also pour a little boiling water on it, take it off, and keep it in the house just long enough to ensure it is completely dry on the outside and in the lock itself before you put it back on.
