Just tested. Tin foil in the glove box works like a charm. Now to test the mech key's waterproof...ness? Waterprooficity? Waterprooficiency? (2 foot overhead! Woot!).

There are several antennas around the car and it can tell if the fob is inside or outside the car. Throw the fob inside and try to lock your doors - doesn't work.

I ran my key through the wash and it still works
Alternatively, find a small waterproof bag to put it in. That's what I do with my camera/cell phone

Did this when I went diving. Not a good idea because your key will rust. The disadvantage of push button start. I guess only option is to remove the battery and hide the key somewhere outside the car.
