If you don't mind highlighting the "key" too, you can just use

/\<key\s\+\w\+

If you don't want the key and the space, you can use

/key \+\zs\w\+

or

/\(key \+\)\@<=\w\+

which both do the same sort of thing. I'm partial to the former
method as it's a little shorter and easier for me to understand.
