Carrying it in your hand is uncomfortable. Finding a place to hide it around your door is really easy. Do you really think somebody's going to look at a front door and think, "I bet there's a key to that door hidden somewhere in the vicinity". No! Nobody will think twice about it.
I actually carry them in my hand. There's just my car key, my apartment key, and the key to the front door of my apartment complex.
I wedge the key between my license plate and the car. Works pretty well.
I read this thread and then I went running immediately afterward. I forgot my keys. I then had to beg someone to let me into my apartment building when I returned.
Tie it into my shoelace.
Between my teeth...

I put my ring finger through the key ring with the key (or sometimes keys) in my hand. That way I don't have to grip the key. It just stays in my palm and I can run with an only slightly closed hand. Took about one run to get used to. Do it all the time now.
Stuffing the stupid key and extracting it from the weird little pockets in shorts and tying the key into shoelaces was too much time and effort, I found.
tie them to drawstring waist of running shorts
your sweaty balls may hit a part of the key but it's not the end of the world.

Works like a charm...
I always just put the key I need in my shoelaces. My dad has always used a safety pin to pin the key to the outside of his shorts and that works well for him.
I carry mine in the pocket on the side of my shoe;

Under the cover to my gas cap, I don't have to push a botton inside my car to open.
as others have said, take the one key you need and tie it into your shoelace. doesn't work great with large car keys however.
You KNOW where I put them...
I have my set of car keys that I leave in the car, but I have an extra key that I put in the little pocket of my shorts.
For races and long runs, I tie the key into my shoe...pretty easy.
For normal training runs, I just carry my keys in my hand...put one finger through the keychain loop and just go.
depends on how far and how fast I plan to run. If I'm doing an easy 2 mile warm up, I'm willing to carry one key - my car key. If I'm doing a hard workout or a long run, I hide the key. A key has no place in a hard or long run.
Do most people really not use the key pocket in their shorts? This is mind-blowing. I've always used it for both house keys and car remote keyfobs and never thought twice about it.
The only pair of shorts I've owned that didn't have one was a crappy pair of Dolfins that I "borrowed" from my college track team once I graduated.
People seem to have weird solutions to a problem that was solved decades ago.
