I have an IPA in secondary keg right now at 40 degrees. I want to dry hop, but not sure if it would be ok to pull keg out, let it warm to room temp for proper dry hop conditions, or if I should just French press an ounce of hops?

Those of you who French press - best advice for aroma extraction?
 
You would be fine letting it warm up and dry hopping in the keg. If it is carbonated be ready to get the lid on fast in case of foaming. I seem to get better aroma dry hopping at room temperature but have also had good results dry hopping a serving temperatures.

I do however pull the bag after 4-5 days either way. I had one beer that I left the hops in while serving for a couple of weeks and it got very grassy. Again though some people leave them in till the keg kicks.
