I keep to much stuff in my wallet to add a key to it lol, I have found that aluminum door kicker panels work pretty well since they are flat. Rather easy to bend it to the desired shape to reach the lock from the top of the door and keep it handy with a good sized flat head screwdriver. If your worried about the paint put a folded up rag under the screwdriver and use it to pry the door open just slighty. The kick panel is barely 1/4 inch thick so it doesnt need much room helping to eliminate any chances of bending the door or the hinges. I used to keep a pre bent one at work *which is where I locked my keys in the most* and one at home in case I did it there lol. Even used them to help out a couple other people at work from time to time.
You can pick up the kick panels from walmart rather cheap and most people have screwdrivers laying around all over. Saved me a ton of money each time vs calling a locksmith, if done right the kick panel wont bend more than you bent it to and you can just stash it back away and keep it for another rainy day.
