There's no default location, since that is not a stock/factory item.
The locks are an option the dealer puts on, and hopefully he puts the key in your hand and says "don't lose this"!
At that point the owner decides where to stash it (glove box, etc.).

If you can't find it, all is not lost.
If you search you'll find plenty of threads on how to remove the lock by hammering a socket onto it.

if you dont mind scratching up your rims badly you can just use an impact wrench with a chisel and crack it in half.
