It was stuck deep enough that, at first I just thought it was one of my pad lock keys. Boy was I ever wrong! Now, my fingers don't want to straighten out for nothing!

You don't need to worry bout tendon being cut there, they run inline with the metacarpal bones. but you basically did a blunt dissection of your lumbricles and interoceous muscles. Be thinking when was the last tetnus shout and how much crap was on your skin and that key when you drove it in there. You need to go in and get it cleaned out and some antibiotic/ tetnus . You cant afford what can happen in your line of work.
