Go the hardware store and get a clevis pin in the size that fits through the pit. Put the pit on the clevis pin and put the clevis pin on your keyring. That's the best and easiest way that I've found.
This is a clevis pin:

This is exactly the method that's ruined most of my Pitlock skewers. The allen wrench can flatten the threads. Then you can't get the nut off. It's less of a problem on the back, but trying to unscrew the nut far enough to get past the lawyer lips in front is a real problem.
The alternative is to carry a 14mm socket. I don't know why they didn't just make it 15mm--same as a track nut--so you could just a fixie wrench. Flattening threads on the skewers and failing to find a 14mm that fits in my seat bag is what caused me to go back to regular Sunlite 5mm hex-head skewers.
