If your data is valuable enough (or you are
paranoid enough) you could try something like this:

There are
services that provide disappearing web sites.  You could have your
encryption program make part of your key from such a web site.  Every
time you decrypt your volume for use, it removes the old site/key and
creates a new site/key (which you would have to memorize).  The site
would disappear after 24 hours automatically or 2 failed login
attempts.  So, if you wait long enough or give them a bad password,
your data is gone because you no longer actually have the key.  Well,
there isn't a key anymore so...
