I learned my lesson on my Miata when I got a plug stuck in the #1 cylinder. I accumulated about 50,000 miles while thinking about what I wanted to do about it. In the end I sold the car Anti-seize from now on.
(I did warn the buyer though.)
The other useful salve for sparkplugs is dialectric grease. Apply between the outside insulator and the ignition wire boot. Helps seal against moisture and aids in removal.
