Unless you have a rather old version of Kubuntu, the default 
installation uses Knetworkmanager and not Kwlan. If you start 
knetworkmanager from the menu you get a new icon in the panel. Right 
click on the icon. There should be a line with your network name. Click 
on that line and knetworkmanager will ask for the key.

However some people have problems with Knetworkmanager and prefer Wicd:
