I don't know if you can disable the an alarm.

In the US, one can purchase a new key head with electronics for about $130. It costs about $50 to have a dealer or independent mechanic program the new key. If you're 100% sure that the key is the problem, you may just need to go the new electronics path.

If, however, the problem is caused by a failing interior sensor, you can disable it by quickly pressing the lock button on the remote twice. Or you can quickly turn the key in the door lock twice.
