Question Middle name instead of Last name on ticket-will I board??

I am flying tomorrow and just noticed a mistake I had made entering my name when buying the ticket.And now I am really worried as to what to do . Will they allow me to board??
Here is my scenario[actual names changed for obvious reasons]::

My Driver License lists my name as Robinson,James,K with Robinson being last name,James-first name,middle initial-K. K stands for Keith but it is not spelled out in full on the license ,just the initial is listed .

I was checking in online today and noticed that I entered my middle name Keith as my last name instead of Robinson. I entered my name as James Robinson Keith instead of using Robinson as my last name-- I entered Robinson as my middle name . How stupid of me not to have noticed it at that time??

But the boarding passes online are issued only with the first and last names-- So for me it is with first and middle name. So what do I do?? I am very worried that they may deny boarding tomorrow?? Do I call the airlines now ? Or do I just check in regularly tomorrow and inform the TSA official or the gate agent of this mistake I made.


I am feeling really stupid -- b`cos I am not an occasional traveler and travel atleast once a month and just made this silly error.So what are my options?? Thanks.
