I would have just put a floor jack in the rear, and pulled it out of the garage, far enough so I could jack up the passenger side front, and put the battery charger on the starter... then opened the doors, opened the engine compartment... and replaced the battery... AAA would not be my call...
Then get a key made....

Read the posts about key in the car, making spare keys for your wallet, doesn't anyone (at least the early C6 owners) keep the key attached to the FOB, there's a loop on the FOB for a key ring and key....

I'm glad you resolved the problem. I suggest you carry the key with the fob and have a spare key for emergencies. 
Perhaps not but if you have AAA (which I do) it's a viable option.

Dealer cut key worked perfectly. Got in the car without issue. Battery is dead, dead. I have to jack it up and move it a little so I can get the battery charger on it. It is parked right up against a cabinet that has the charger in it.... go figure.
I am close now. Get that battery charged, tested and then go riding. Have to wait til the weekend now. Busy, busy.
