Jamming is better than unlocking. Especially if you can fallback to the normal key.

Obviously you'd have to do something clever with it. Turn it into a walking stick, sew it into clothing, have an anlket+earing combo, or etc.
But, like I said, all the ideas were half-baked.
Inductive power isn't going to really help, I don't think.
A false key signal, like you mention, won't help. Also, it'd be relatively easy to stop via a directional antenna.
Audio does pass through walls. Visible light would be less convenient than a standard key, I'd think.
Disabling the key while at rest would be really annoying for those who tuck it in their purses.
A really long key... I hope you're joking.
