If you qualify as a first-time home buyer, you can withdraw up to $10,000 from your IRA to use as a down payment (or to help build a home) without having to pay the 10% early withdrawal penalty. However, you'll still have to pay regular income tax on the withdrawal.
Assuming that you had a traditional 401-k you were not taxed on the contributions that you made so any withdrawals from your IRA would be subject to regular income tax.
Assuming that you mean a Traditional IRA that the 401(k) was rolled into and not a Roth conversion, then your contributions make no difference. Any distribution is taxable income but if used for a 1st home then up to $10,000 would not be subject to the additional 10% penalty - see:
