Yeah, most people would carry keys in the pocket, and anything you pop into
your pocket (rather than your Backpack) is a Special Item.
As you say, it's probably just an oversight that the key in question isn't
mentioned as being a Special Item (unless it is explicitly described as
being really big, perhaps?)
It's not unprecedented in the books for there to be a situation where, say,
in one section, you find an item, and then one or two sections later, you
use the item (e.g. a key, and you find the corresponding door a couple of
sections later, and there's no way to branch off the path and not reach the
door) ..... in that scenario, Dever sometimes didn't bother telling you to
record the item on your action chart: it's just assumed you take it, use
it, and then you don't need it any more. You might even just be holding it
in your hand the whole time, then leave it in the door lock and not take it
with you.
There's also precedent for having backpack items which are very small/light
and so there's an explicit mention in the text that they "don't take up any
space".
