If you want to put your ssh key in the filesystem.squashfs, you have to 
mount the filesystem.squashfs, and duplicate the whole contents to 
another working dir, put your ssh key, then use squashfs tool to make 
the working dir as another filesystem.squashfs.
There is a similar Q&A which you can refer to:
http://drbl.sourceforge.net/faq/fine-print.php?path=./2_System/81_add_prog_in_filesystem-squashfs.faq#81_add_prog_in_filesystem-squashfs.faq
