'07 Key Durability Test
My wife just washed my shorts. Only problem was that my key was in the pocket.
I noticed as the clothes were going into the dryer. Took the key out, no it didn't go thru the dryer... I knew it wasn't going to work with out a little luck and an hour with the hairdryer.
But, just for fun I thought I'd try it before I got started.... Works perfect.
I have since dried it out... but it worked and works as if it had never been washed.

Count yourself lucky. The key may work - for now. They probably did make an good effort to seal it against for general wear and tear, but I don't think they intended to make it water proof - more like "weather proof". I would use that key as a spare. It may fail on you some time down the road - so to speak
