Not only will you be able to align the ivory better but you may also clamp the sides to avoid 'skating'. I've seen a jig which used two pieces of angle aluminium secured to a board. One piece was secured fast to the board while the other could be adjusted (screws in slots) and secured to fit key. A notch in the board under the key alllowed a clamp to fit in. After a minute or two (to allow glue to grab), the key is removed from the jig with clamp still in place. (jig made by John McDonald, RI Chapter) Jon Page Cape Cod.
