There is no default setting.  Padding controls the overall spacing
(with extra space allotted to naturals); you use padding-pairs to
affect certain collocations.

Here's an example of usages (input/regression/key-signature-padding.ly):

\header {

  texidoc = "With the @code{padding-pairs} property, distances
 between individual key signature items can be adjusted."

}

\version "2.19.7"

{
  \override Staff.KeySignature.padding-pairs
    = #'((("accidentals.flat" .
"accidentals.sharp.slashslash.stemstemstem") . 0.5))
    \set Staff.keyAlterations = #`((4 . ,FLAT) (6 . ,THREE-Q-SHARP) (2
. ,SEMI-FLAT))
  e2
}

HTH,
