Make a tool that mimics the tip of the key slot, if it has one.
Maxis also makes a round key without a slot in the tip. To pick that one, you need to tension the pins themselves. Personally use a tension wrench nearly as tall as the keyway and reaching at least half way in the keyway.

Just when you finally think you have learned it all, that is when you learn that you don't know anything yet.

I don't have a maxis, but in theory, I'd like to make a tool out of a piece of tubing with a slot cut in it the width of the pins. I think this tool would be easiest to use.
