I always took it as a sexual meaning. I don't think Melanie would ever admit it because the song would lose it's innocence.
"The song has always been seen as a metaphor for sex. Its seemingly innocent tale of a young girl who needs a key for her roller skates can easily be read as a girl making a bold sexual overture to a (perhaps shy) boy she likes."
