Here is what I did:

1. Remove ski pass through between rear seats
2. Use a broom to reach the handle in the trunk and release it

Once I hooked up a charger, the ignition lock released and I got the key out.

Does anyone know how to remove the ski pass?
Thanks!

I had the same problem tonight with a key stuck in the barrel

How can I either open the trunk or get the key out of the ignition or jump the car?

BTW: There is no spare key...

Thanks so much!

i got a large 12 wire. Exposed the wire on each end. Pulled the cigarette lighter out and connected the two wires to the back of the cigarette lighter and connected the other ends of the wire to my jump pack. It worked !! Another way round this problem ....
