With XML the characters '{' and '}' do not have any special meaning and 
do not need to be escaped.
However for the String.Format method the '{' and '}' have special 
meaning and need to be escaped as '{{' and '}}'.
So your config XML should look like

<add key="Javascript"
  value="function GetKey(){{key = new Key('myKey'){0};var i = 'jjj';}} " />

assuming the {0} is a parameter for String.Format and should have 
special meaning. Otherwise you need to escape that too.
