Use the :W instead of :w, and :W! instead of :w!. See below.
It automatically escapes spaces for you.
command! -bang -nargs=* W :call W(<q-bang>, <q-args>)
function! W(bang, filename)
:exe "w".a:bang." ". substitute(a:filename, ' ', '\\ ', 'g')
endfu
In addition to Yakov's suggestion, you can perform
:let @@=escape(@@,' ')
after you yank the key sentence as the filename. It should escape spaces
once you paste for :write.
HTH.
