As for code, maybe do what Akismet does. In wp-config.php it looks like define( 'WPCOM_API_KEY', '238r9hsvdu8923' );. Doing a search for WPCOM_API_KEY over Akismet reveals the following related lines of code.

/wp-content/plugins/akismet/class.akismet.php:
   61  
   62  	public static function get_api_key() {
   63: 		return apply_filters( 'akismet_get_api_key', defined('WPCOM_API_KEY') ? constant('WPCOM_API_KEY') : get_option('wordpress_api_key') );
   64  	}
   65  

/wp-content/plugins/akismet/wrapper.php:
    1  <?php
    2  
    3: global $wpcom_api_key, $akismet_api_host, $akismet_api_port;
    4  
    5: $wpcom_api_key    = defined( 'WPCOM_API_KEY' ) ? constant( 'WPCOM_API_KEY' ) : '';

/wp-content/plugins/akismet/views/config.php:
   59  									<table cellspacing="0" class="akismet-settings">
   60  										<tbody>
   61: 											<?php if ( !defined( 'WPCOM_API_KEY' ) ):?>
   62  											<tr>
   63  												<th class="akismet-api-key" width="10%" align="left" scope="row"><?php esc_html_e('API Key', 'akismet');?></th>
   ..
  138  								</div>
  139  								<div id="major-publishing-actions">
  140: 									<?php if ( !defined( 'WPCOM_API_KEY' ) ):?>
  141  									<div id="delete-action">
  142  										<a class="submitdelete deletion" href="<?php echo esc_url( Akismet_Admin::get_page_url( 'delete_key' ) ); ?>"><?php esc_html_e('Disconnect this account', 'akismet'); ?></a>
