I checked the owners manual for a 2012 Jeep Liberty (starting on page 424) and it does seem to indicate that you would remove the key. I advise taking a look at the manual because only specific models can be flat towed and there is a specific procedure involved in doing so.

The issue that I have is that if the key is removed then the steering would lock and the wheels would scrub on turns.
