Steel wool would work, if the cigarette lighter were made of steel. Dissimilar metal contact will only cause further corrosion (see: galvanic corrosion).

Its going to corrode regardless. Especially if it has electricity going through it.

I rub my shotgun down with #0000 Steel wool sometimes, and have never had a problem with rust.

And you dont need to clean it anyway, you would have to take it out to clean it, just get a new one, they are like less than $5.
