At the risk of emphasising my prejudice in favour of using
specialised products to manage encrypted volumes, have you
looked at how products like VeraCrypt (fork from TrueCrypt)
handles this sort of thing?

In particular look at the way it uses Keyfiles
https://veracrypt.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Keyfiles%20in%20VeraCrypt

It's relatively simple and flexible, and has been around for
a long while.  It has the advantage (and disadvantage) of
being as secure as the user cares to make it.
