I locked my keys in my car quite a few times, even with it running, that was an ordeal. The poor thing ran out of gas while we tried to unlock it. I know, really stupid, but it was dead week, I was really sleepy. I will say that ever since MB came out with the remote control I have never locked my keys in my car since. You could look into an alarm system with remote locking, this would give you an insurance discount (some states) protect your car and valueables, and reduce the likelihood of locking the key in the car. More than a $28 key, but the alarms are pretty cheap now. Good luck!
