Yakima's FatCat EVO 6 Ski and Snowboard Carrier, item # Y03096 use the same Yakima SKS lock cores which are shown on the linked page. These are intended to allow removal of the key when the lock is in the locked position.
My Yakima contact recommended trying to remove the key from the locks with the carrier closed but NOT ratcheted down as far as it will go, in other words with less tension on the closure. She said that sometimes the tension from the carrier being ratcheted down all the way will put enough pressure on the locks that the keys can stick a bit.
