Lube it. Then install it. Then ride. In no particular order.
What part is tight? Does it have stiff spots? You can work those areas side to side a touch (not the way it bendson the pin) and that helps loosen them up a tad.

find the tight spot, and take an extra spoke and pass it through the links around the tight join and kinda just press it agasint the sides of the chain in both directions, you'll just take some pressure off the roller thats causing teh tight spot. also oil will help make it smoother.
if the whole thing is tight, just drop it in a container with some oil, and let it soak for a few hours. take it out, rinse it, rub some triflow on, and install. or install and then triflow, working with a slippery chain can sometimes be a pain in the ass, but personally i find its better because the chain is more evenly lubricated.

One of my best friends is a mechanic and everytime he's got something stuck with rust he just soaks it or runs diesel through it
