In your game Library switch the view to "Detailed" by clicking on the icon in the upper right. Then highlight the game for the detailed view with all the Achievements, Workshop, News, ect.
"CD key" is on the right-hand side of the Detailed view.

Alternately, you can click "View" in the steam menu and click "Game Details". Same thing. CD Key is on the right hand side of the window.

In case you're still not seeing it, here is an example of where it should be:

Found it but only certain games I can see the cd key. I can't see games that i bought over gamestop or amazon even though they had a key.

This is normal. CD Keys are usually only provided through Steam if you are required to enter them elsewhere. For example, the CD Key appears for games like Alice and Crysis 2 so that you can activate them on Origin.

From what I understand, they don't put the CD Key on display on Steam if it's not needed.

When you run the game it should pop up with the cd key? Normally does. Depending on the game and iv nvr had to use a cd key unless it is for uplay when you get the game on steam it pops up with a cd key for uplay thats all iv known them for.
