Default Newbie question about lugnut key

I picked up my new Ram 1500 Sport about 2 weeks ago. When I picked it up the lug nut key was rolling around in the center console. Well it's still there and the sound of it rolling around is driving me crazy. I was wondering if there is a place where it goes and doesn't roll around?

Thanks

On the right side of the (passenger) front seat, there is a panel that pulls out from the front towards the rear, about an inch, then slide it forward, it has a plastic piece that it slides into on the end of the seat, then look at your jack, it has a white plastic tie wrap that has an arrow shaped piece on it, the key fits onto that piece of plastic, the hole in the back of the key goes on there, you would be suprised how many dont know it goes there, including a dealer that I took it to, they had to come ask me........

That white plastic thing they are referring to is like a wire tire that has an upside down plug on it that key sits on, like that in all the Dodges I have had since 98, Wow I have spent a lot of money on lock nuts. Hey I have an extra threaded hole under the passenger seat the jack slides into a part under the seat then you put a wingnut headed bolt thru the hole in the jack and screw it down...anyone know why the second threaded hole?
