I'm 6'o", I've done it twice. First time was in my uncles SS Camaro at night, all of the sudden the lights went off and I realized the steering was stiff...it took me a few seconds to realize what it was. The second time happened the first week I had my S2K at autocross, but I figured out what happened in record time, I was proud of myself

Haven't had this problem but others clearly have.

The movement is in your foot at your ankle, not your knee jumping up.
Sounds like this to me. I can't recall off the top of my head but I don't think my knee moves much. There's also nothing attached to my S key other than the fob, car cover lock key and AAA tag.

Same thoughts here, I didnt think your leg would need to move that much. It hasnt happened to me and my friends say I sit in the granny position, super close. I also have just a key, with just a very tiny piece hanging on it.
