Sounds like a good time to cultivate yourself. Buy a bunch of classics (books, preferably), hide the key in one of them randomly.
Then you pick one book to check for the key and you don't get to check another book until you've read it all. If the key is in there you can't use it until you've read it through either.
Works with movies too, but not quite as effective.

Seems good way of educating my girlfriends I would hide joker in a book. After each book I would give her a test that should prove whenever she read it. When she fails she have to read it again. If the book contained joker she has right for orgasm after passing the test. And I would allow her to read as many books per day as she wants ;) I have to try it! Thanks for idea!
See, now, if it were me, I would tell you I'd buried it in the back yard. It would be so much fun to watch you scanning back and forth, inch by inch, when the key was actually around my neck. If you did want to do this to yourself, I would think you could toss it back over your shoulder. It'd be hard to find in grass or snow.
The DVD's would work. I would think you could stack a large number of them on the floor, blindfold yourself, put it in one, and push them all around the floor until they were sufficiently mixed up. Oh, for you wankers with a big porn stash. You have to hide it in a porn DVD, and each night you get to select one. If it's not in there, you have to watch it through to the end. Even better, the DVD's are kept in a sack or pillow case, and the one you watched goes back in. You have to select blindly, so you'd potentially never find it. Of course, if you pulled one you knew was a dud, you could do something awful to earn another selection. That'd teach you to have a big cache of filthy stuff.

See, now that could be fun! The sub gets to be naked and blindfolded while the domme throws the key out into a backyard full of snow and tells the sub to go find it. Snowballs may or may not be thrown!
The "Random" function in all programming languages are not really random. Most programming languages allow you to "seed" your random function, too. Given the same seed, calling Random x times will always give the same sequence of numbers.
So let's say you have a four digit combination lock... maybe to a strong box that holds the real key.
It seems to me that a program could take a seed number (e.g. the last four digits of your phone number so that you can remember it) and then get a random number (which always gives a number between 0 and 1), multiply it by 10,000 and throw away the fraction to get an integer between 0 and 9999. Have the computer repeat this for an hour... or two... or a day, and keep track of the number of times looped ("iterations"). Then add this to your combination number (and subtract 10,000 if the sum is over 10,000) and you now have an encrypted number, plus how many iterations it took.
To decrypt it, use the same random seed, and run basically an identical program except it runs the same number of iterations (instead of a particular length of time). It should take roughly the same amount of time to do this (i.e. an hour... or two... or a day). Then subtract the result from the encrypted number, add 10,000 if the difference is negative, and you have your combination back.
And the only thing that can speed up your waiting time is a faster computer. There is no hacking you can do to cheat the process.

I think that using brutal force (trying all combinations) could be way faster (in scenario when you want to be locked up for several days) than waiting for computer to compute it! And there is the issue of setting the lock for the right combination, you don't suppose that I would forget it? :) First issue can be fixed using at least 6 digit combination lock. Second can fix your friend - I don't think that anyone would mind to help you with setting the lock, so you have to keep yourself from looking at the combination when you are giving it to him.
I was thinking more about using some very nasty theorem. You can use computer to compute result, use some method to set lock and then try to compute it by yourself :) You can always get out (computer will do the work for you) but think of it as a challenge. And there are so many theorems that could take you weeks to solve :)
PS: I think that I would be able to compute result of the PRNG algorithm in specific iteration in constant time. So I would know the result in matter of seconds no matter if it took hour or month to compute it usual way. Most people with high school education would be able to do so, it's only formula for n-th element of sequence - and basic sequences are taught even in elementary school.
