Your question really doesn't make any sense. Why would the key being in a smartcard keep you from using it? The whole point of keeping a key in a smartcard is that you can *use* it without *exposing* it. Before a CA signs a certificate, it needs to know that that the identity it is certifying owns the private key that corresponds to the public key in the certificate. This almost always requires that private key to be used in some way. Otherwise, how does the CA know it's signing the right key?
