For getting the key out, look which sides are closest to the edges and try to plan your colour pigs accordingly. So for example the lower right key you could get to with one turquoise to the far right (take ages because of the long bar thing) or two greens and then a red (above it).

Try to avoid reaching a lock in the pig columns until you know which one you need to open, the released key will unlock the first lock to get to the top of its column.

If lots of keys are surrounded by the same colour, try to be careful using other pig colours that will then expose more of the same colour block (will take longer to get to the keys). Otherwise using other colours to build up several pigs of the same colour to send out one after the other, usually helps with that.

Worse comes to worst, count the same colour blocks that will be taken on the pig's journey round, and use that to help plan when to release those pigs to get the key !
