Either the key is bent or the spring is broke... or both. The ring may be bent and rubbing against the tone hole. It depends on what you mean by "locking".
To keep your clarinet in good shape, you will need to purchase a few things. You will need cork grease, a cleaner that goes through the clarinet(so it gets all the saliva), a thumb rest(its rubbery and usually black) for your thumb so it doesnt go numb and a reed gaurd(so it keeps your reed in shape).

Selmer sells products designed to help you properly take care of your Selmer Clarinet. One item they sell is a pull-through Dri-Bore clarinet swab. This is used to clean the inside of the instrument.

Get a halfway decent drill. I'm assuming it happens right at the base of the thumb? What you probably need to get done is have the thumb hole moved a little right and up (if you're right handed) or if you're left handed get the thumb hole moved left and up.
Northface and other manufacturers geared towards outdoor activities have thumb warmers.

Check out their video on Youtube to see for yourself. The locking has a turning black thing on the end of the headphone jack side that twists to keep it in place. The non locking is the same as any removable headphone cable. :)
Paint thumb nail with no-bite nail polish (used to keep one from biting nails).
