The 987 has an electronic ignition lock and an electromechanical steering column lock for increased anti-theft protection. I don't know if it's possible to reprogram the key without modifying the electronic ignition but I'm guessing you'd need to replace the lock and get new keys issued to you.

The plastic key performs all functions necessary to drive the vehicle. Not to mention turning your wheels to lock all the time puts a strain on the steering components, increases the wear on your front tires and would give you an annoying OBC message every time you went to start it up.
