Check inside the trunk on the side of the fuel door. Most manufacturers make an emergency release handle for just such situations. It may be behind the trunk liner but should be on the same side of the vehicle as the door is.
Thanks for using FixYa - a FixYa rating is appreciated!!

there should be an extra latch in the trunk for your gas door, other wise it can be accessed there in the trunk with some tool and such..

You might try having a friend bump the gas cover with the heel of their hand while you **** briskly on the release. Have done this a couple of times and once opened, you can use a little lubricant on the exposed parts. Sometimes that is enough.
