The answer is quite simple, the PTT line engages transmit in the mode
set by the "mode switch". In order to switch modes, only the CW input
(straight key or paddles) can be activated. Given the changes needed
in synthesizer/VCO settings, etc. between SSB and CW, I doubt that it
would be possible to change modes (SSB to CW) once the K3 is already
in transmit.

While it might be possible to modify control to allow CW in SSB with
PTT if PTT and CW were activated at the very same instant (by adding
diodes from key in, dit in and dah in to PTT In), that would not fix
your issue with a sequencer since the sequencer (and foot switch) will
generally set PTT some fraction of a second *before* CW in any case.
