In many cases that can and will be considered control of the vehicle. A person that has access to the keys, near or in the vehicle with an alcohol concentration above .08 can and likely will be charged with a DUI.

Your question is too broad. If there is a basis to believe the vehicle was driven under the influence, the case may proceed. It is not necessary that the keys were in the ignition. Cases may proceed on circumstantial evidence. The case may be weak and subject to challenge,
