No, petroleum jelly should never be used vaginally.

Petroleum jelly is too thick for your vagina to clean out easily, thus it can trap bacteria within the vagina so increasing risk of infection - if used with tampons the petroleum jelly would also trap tampon fibres, this plus additional bacterial growth will increase risk of vaginal infections and Toxic shock syndrome. Petroleum jelly also acts like a barrier so would prevent moisture getting to vaginal tissues, this could cause vaginal dryness and increased vaginal tissue damage, this also increases risk of toxic shock syndrome.

If you need to sue lubrication when inserting tampons use water-based lubricants such as KY jelly or natural oils such as olive oil or coconut oil, another suggestion would be to masturbate as when aroused the vagina relaxes, opens, and lubricates.

How do you get a tampon in if it doesn't go in smoothly?

If you use correct absorbency for your flow then it should insert smoothly, if you struggle then you can use lubrication such as KY jelly or olive oil on the tampon - do not use Vaseline, it's not safe! You can also masturbate before insertion as when aroused the vagina relaxes, lubricates, opens, and increases in size. The most important thing is to relax, if you're tense vaginal muscles tense causing the vaginal canal to tighten so insertion is more difficult.
