How far along do I need to be in the game to use this? And is it something that I can pick up and use at a later date?
You can save them, once redeemed, and can use it any time after reaching sanctuary (or any time at all in someone elses game if they have sanctuary unlocked).
The catch is that a golden key gives you something at your level (usually purple)....so you can use it early, and get low level gear, or wait and get some decent high level stuff.
If you follow gearbox on twitter and/or Facebook, they give out golden key codes a few times a month, so no real need to hoard them.
