You can use regex to get the value of brackets within a string like so.

if(preg_match_all('/\[(.*?)\]/',$_POST['my_key'],$matches))
{
    foreach($matches as $match)
    {
        if($match[1] == 'my-short-code')
        {
            //Do whetever
            break 2;
        }
    }
}

Note: match[1] may be match[0]
