I believe the answer is:

cared

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'worried about' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'vehicle keys' is the wordplay.
'vehicle' becomes 'car' (car is a kind of vehicle).
'keys' becomes 'ed' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'car'+'ed'='CARED'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cared that I've seen before include "Was concerned" , "Felt affection (for)" , "had feelings" , "Tended" , "Felt concern or interest" .)
