Even if you have the best hand now you will likely be outdrawn. And if you don't have the best hand you are almost drawing dead. I think you can get away.

At your limit and with so many limpers, the possible hands being played are infinite. A bet on the flop won't protect your pair, and with two callers already to the bet, the fold is fine.

elipsesjeff is an unknown quantity at this point
Betting the flop might give you best possible way of getting away from the hand. With the paired board there is little likelihood of a K out there than normal. By betting you have the highest likelihood of winning, because he cant fold by you check/calling. You'd be surprised how many of these hands you can win by betting, if he has the king he raises the turn, which you can easily fold to that bet.

your backdoor flush sucks, you need runner-runner for quads against trip kings (or the backdoor flush) you win the minimum against a flush draw and you lose the maximum
just fold
