Bear in mind that the fob- to- KiPass ECU is a radio link and they can be sensitive to distance, metal objects between them, direction and a host of other things. The system will get even more sensitive as the battery in the fob drops in voltage (they do not fail all at once but 'wind down' over time). So the battery in your fob may now be marginal; I would suggest just replacing it with a new battery and seeing if the problem goes away.
If you can get the key to turn no matter what fob you use or how you use the fob, including holding it against the ignition (the RFID portion of KiPass) they you do not have the stuck activation switch problem. If the activation switch does actually stick you cannot resolve the issue by using any normal method for starting the bike.
As far as dreading the stuck activation switch, no need for that when there is a simple work- around that will absolutely eliminate that problem from ever stranding you. More information available here:

steve,
i pulled the battery out of the fob and it tested as good.... and the fob is now working (with the same battery ) so now i'm thinking i have experienced the dreaded stuck switch.
