The key holder retainer includes a hollow extending substantially from end to end of the key holder retainer and adapted to receive the key holder in use. Keys may be fastened on the key holder and positioned in a flat position within the interior space of the key holder. The key holder retainer is then friction fit onto the key holder remote the key heads. In this position the tail end of the keys may be contained within the hollow of the key holder retainer within the interior space of the key holder in a flat package which may be comfortably stored by the user.
