Android Central Question

It may well be that I am just not looking properly, but I cannot seem to find an answer to this online or on my Nexus 5 phone.

I have recently discovered the routines in the phone, and love them. While I want bluetooth activated and a loud ringtone in the car, at work I want both of those switched off. At home and on my bike I need different things again. Being able to say simply 'car settings' and have it switch everything to pre-set parameters is brilliant.

But I cannot figure out how to create a shortcut button to launch the same routines. And sitting at a desk, surrounded by colleagues, and talking to your phone makes you look like, well, a bit of a muppet. Surely if the phone is smart enough to launch a routine by voice command, it should be able to launch it at the press of a nice, silent, button...
