The simplest way to keep the skeleton key is to not finish the Darkness Returns quest. Doing this prevents you from completing the Thieves Guild quest line, however, once your lockpicking skill is 100, you can pick up the "Unbreakable" perk which causes your lockpicks to never break. Since the main advantage of the Skeleton Key is that it can't break, once you have this lockpicking perk, you can complete Darkness Returns (and thus finish the Thieves Guild quest line) and retain an unbreakable lockpick.
