I keep the key/wrench hidden on the bike. The key is a little slippery and awkward against the nut, but I don't need it to be fast and I only take the wheels off once or twice a year or so to replace tubes or service the bike.
I use the On-Guard locking skewers too and I agree, the wrench is slippery and awkward to use. Where/how do you hide the key on the bike? I'm always afraid I'll leave the key at home or in the wrong bag and have a flat somewhere. I'd rather keep it on the bike.
