I strongly suggest not using a key either. I did that trying to open a foil pack of ibuprofin while on vacation (because I left my pocket knife at home. Thanks TSA). Snapped my ignition key in half. The truck was parked at the airport so I wouldn't be able to get to my spare key. Ended up having to have a neighbor break in to my house and get my spare key and fedex it overnight. Not recommended.
