Is there a way to negotiate a lower interest rate on existing credit cards?

Has anyone ever negotiated a lower interest rate on an existing credit card? I have paid down all my cards and my credit has since gotten better. I still have these ridiculously high rates (like 20% and higher). I do not want to open new cards with lower interest rates because then I will lose out on credit history. I do not plan on continuing to use these cards, maybe just a gas purchase here and there.
