Someone forgot to train you to empty your pockets when you take your pants off. 
A few others have posted here about this same problem.
C6 fobs seem to be pretty durable.

Dropped mine in a bucket of suds while washing the car. Took me a good 10 minutes to find it because the sound sounded like it hit the ground (must have bounced off the edge of the bucket). I didn't worry about it for a few minutes as I was going around to the other side of the car anyway. Then a bit later I started to look, couldn't find it, and my eyes caught the bucket and I thought, "Oh great, where's the one place I didn't look?" 
Took it out of the bucket, dried it on my pants, and it worked immediately! They're pretty tough!

I just insert it between my belt and pants waist and voila', it is secured. The length of the key itself keeps it in place.
And if I forget to take it off my belt and put it in it's customary place along with all of my other essential items, it falls off when I undo my belt and usually lands on my foot...which reminds me to pick it up.
