Most keys open locks near where they were found. However, every once in a while the lock is on the other side of the map.
Also, NPCs can relock locks and the key lets you get back in again.
Since keys take up no weight, and you don't ever have to actually scroll through the list, I ignore them. The only issue, and I think this has been patched out, is when multiple copies of one key spawn in your inventory. I am not talking 2 copies, but many copies.
