Sometimes. It's not very common. The expression is used when someone is helping you speed a process along. This is sometimes illicit, like bribery. Greased wheels spin faster.
Example:
"The wait for a table at the restaurant was going to be an hour, but I gave the waiter $20 to grease the wheels, so we'll have a table in 10 minutes."
"It was going to take a month to get my new license plate from the DMV, but I some someone who works there. He's gonna grease the wheels for me and I'll get the plate next week."

@JAMPtry999 I've also heard this shortened. You can just say "I greased the waiter," and the other person will probably understand that you bribed him/her.
