how would i go about a keyway on a lathe that twists around the shaft then ends up straight?

1.25 keyway  i had it do c axis contour then just added a -.25 on the y till the end of the key then shifted y+.250 then followed same path(center) out but that didnt work. was only cutting it 1" wide where c rotated.  is there a way to do it or do i just have to use the end mill the size of the keyway
