I would create a service class:

class Tx_MyExtKey_Service_SettingsService implements t3lib_Singleton {

     /**
      * @var mixed
      */
     protected $settings = NULL;
     /**
      * @var Tx_Extbase_Configuration_ConfigurationManagerInterface
      */
     protected $configurationManager;

     /**
      * Injects the Configuration Manager and loads the settings
      *
      * @param Tx_Extbase_Configuration_ConfigurationManagerInterface An 
instance of the Configuration Manager
      * @return void
      */
     public function 
injectConfigurationManager(Tx_Extbase_Configuration_ConfigurationManagerInterface 
$configurationManager) {
         $this->configurationManager = $configurationManager;
     }

     /**
      * Returns all settings.
      *
      * @return array
      */
     public function getSettings() {
         if ($this->settings === NULL) {
             $this->settings = 
$this->configurationManager->getConfiguration(Tx_Extbase_Configuration_ConfigurationManagerInterface::CONFIGURATION_TYPE_SETTINGS);
         }
         return $this->settings;
     }

     /**
      * Returns the settings at path $path, which is separated by ".", 
e.g. "pages.uid".
      * "pages.uid" would return $this->settings['pages']['uid'].
      *
      * If the path is invalid or no entry is found, false is returned.
      *
      * @param string $path
      * @return mixed
      */
     public function getByPath($path) {
         return 
Tx_Extbase_Reflection_ObjectAccess::getPropertyPath($this->getSettings(), $path);
     }

}

If you are using Extbase 1.4 you can have an injectMethod in your Model:

/**
      *
      * @param Tx_MyExtKey_Service_SettingsService $settingsService
      */
     public function 
injectSettingsService(Tx_MyExtKey_Service_SettingsService 
$settingsService) {
         $this->settingsService = $settingsService;
     }


And then you can call your ts-setting in your model via

$this->settingsService->getByPath('yourSetting);

------------

But as Georg mentioned, you should try to avoid such things.

Good luck
