You don't HAVE to keep the key in a readable state in the client. You can do a simple encryption of the key within the client. (XOR, bit shift or some other way).
Then decrypt the key whenever you need it. When there is no need for the key, overwrite the used key buffer with random characters, and delete it.
That way, the key will exist in plain text for a very short amount of time.

Just a thought, maybe you can decode the key witin a CriticalSection block?
Will a CriticalSection stop other apps from executing? I'm not sure.
