Is there a program to temporarily lock the keys on the keyboard, thus ignoring any keystrokes? I don't want a system lock down, just something akin to the "hold" button on portable mp3 players.
The reason is that I've got an A3 sketch book that I want to use while at the computer, but there is not enough space on the desk, so I thought I'd put it over the keyboard.

You could attempt to wire an old-fashioned keyboard lock into your system. =P I still have one of those sitting around here somewhere, lol.

Generally, if you turn your computer off, the keyboard will stop responding.

However, that isn't very useful. So, I'm afraid I can't help you.

Unplug it. If it's USB.

PS/2 unfortunatley

And there is not enough space or cord length to move the keyboard about, unfortunatley, or I wouldn't be asking this.

*tries to put it on top of the display*

It keeps falling down

Could you rotate the keyboard so it leans vertically longways against the monitor, shelf, etc?

Well if you're using a fairly modern OS (like anything Win2k or more recent), unplugging the PS/2 keyboard shouldn't cause anything to crash, and it should work fine without a reboot after plugging it back in.
