Key's will still be there in the morning . The drain is the same idea as a toilet. There's a collector area in the bottom that holds water and the inlet/outlet are a couple of feet up on the side. (can you tell I work for our council )
You need something like this
If it's not a deep gulley then rubber glove could be the best way

i like the magnet+string idea!
coat hanger won't reach, its too far down. anc i cant see shit down there, as the water's too murky

Lift up drain cover.
Rubber gloves on.
Find keys.
Fuck me, I should have won the Nobel Peace Prize for that bit of simple thought..............

cover the rear bumper up nicely and push it away from the drain with another car? i dont know if that would damage it or not 
you should have a spare key anyway, i always make sure ive got a spare with all my cars
