Follow the wire that is being pulled when the interior trunk opener button is pressed. Check the mechanism that open the trunk. Compare it with that opened by the button on your key.

when new the car came with 3 keys 2 normal and 1 valet key(will not open trunk/glovebox)also with the normal key in trunk lid lock you turn right or left then let it centre to open or lock with remote button
Did you try with the key? The keyhole is in the top left corner in the trunk by license plate (opposite to the camera lens).
Also, make sure the valet button in the glove compartment is released (or pressed)
You might try the dealer. They may be able to get a duplicate key based upon the VIN number or there may be a related series number on your ignition key.
1. I presume your button on the dash (which opens the trunk) is not working. You could take that button out of the dash panel and manually activate the circuit by using the wires themselves.
2. If the "valet" key doesn't fit the trunk lock, see if the keys are visible through the center back seat access 'hole', make a wire hook attached to a broom handle, etc. and try to catch the ring the key is on. If the view is blocked by other things you can't move, figure out at way to move things in the trunk so you can get something to reach the key(s). Do you have other metal keys on the same keyring? If so, use a magnet to grab the whole set.
3. Have you considered taking out the rear seat? Do the bottom seat cushion first, then the back.
4. By now you have hopefully already gotten your keys back out of the trunk, but if not I hope one of these suggestions works. MW
there is a valet switch which prevents this check the glovebox or the panel that opens with the adjustment controls not sure of your model year has all this but if it does you would know where it is
