The mykey.asc file will be in whichever directory the Terminal was in
when you issued the command. You can find the current directory of a
Terminal by typing "pwd" and pressing enter. By default this is the Home
directory, but if you issued the "cd" command at any point while the
Terminal was open then you will have changed directories.

Try this command instead:

gpg --export -a "Key-ID" > ~/mykey.asc

This will put the mykey.asc file in your Home directory, no matter which
directory you are currently in. (The "~" is shorthand for
"/home/your_username".)

Thanks,

Phil
