 How does the plastic stay on when whole
 key being twisted back, as a matter of fact, how does the plastic stay
 on while key is warping originally. I'm guessing it bends along with the
 wood, but being a harder material, I thought it should not bend. ? ? ?

If the keytop is loose, remove it. It will follow the wood because it is
bending through its small dimension--its thickness; and probably relieved
because it was originally glued to a flat surface.
