Although the keys do indeed charge while in the ignition...but they DO NOT charge when the ignition is OFF. The ignition needs to be in KL-R, KL-15, or KL-30 (which are ignition position 1, 2, and where it returns after KL-50...the start position).

It takes up to 30 hours to recharge a discharged remote key. My suggestion for recharging a remote key would be hooking up a battery charger (or remote AC battery pack) to the jump start terminals in the engine bay, then leave the key in ignition position 1 (has the least amount of components powered up):
