With the engine on an engine stand, you could rotate and position the engine so you could visually locate the 'strayed key' and retrieve it. Home Depot sells a probe with a camera. That would be a perfect tool for this project. Have you tried to remove the sump plate? At this point, I would not advise to turn or rotate the engine (crankshaft) until you get it out. I've dropped a washer before and was able to retrieve it easily. Just take your time and relax. Do not panic. The missing key is not going any where. It is inside somewhere in the engine case. Keep us posted.
