This is not possible by design. The key is stored in an encrypted part of the system registry, and cannot be accessed by a normal user because MS believes it will aid piracy, allowing malware authors the ability to steal the key. you will need some external program (I've had luck with MagicJellyBean on win7) to break in and retrieve it.
