I don't think you can, however, why would you want to? We recently changed from a Skoda Superb which had keyless entry to a Berlingo feel XL and it's one of the things I miss.

Thinking laterally maybe this will help - put your key fob in a Faraday cage or metal box to stop RF emissions

I always keep my fob in a faraday pouch, it totally blocks all signals from and to the fob.

I've been talking to an electronics expert who worked for the MOD about this and he found the same as me that even in a pouch the car still detects the key's presence as the pouch tends to leak (attenuated) radio signals.
Test your pouch in the car with the key in it. I found this by accident as my wife left her key in the car in a pouch and I could not lock the car! I thought it was an open door or boot but finally found the spare key in the pouch in the car. So it might not work through the house walls but closeness or even in the car might be enough to render the protective pouch useless.
A small metal box with a tight lid is much more effective at stopping the radio signals. Silver, according to my mate, is apparently perfect metal for the box if you can afford it.
