Same problem happened to me. I dont know why I was playing around with that thing. I would say turn it back and forth slowly. Make sure you listen for the click. IF that doesnt work, bring to dealer to fix that latch.

Spray some wd40 into that latch lock, and try to work your key around in there, gently. Try using your spare key too. Otherwise, time for the dealer.

Can you drop the rear seats and use the emergency release inside the trunk to pop it open? Just a thought.....

Opps my bad. i guess you can openit with the key.

um...... it may be just me being stupid, but can't you still open the trunk with a key at the trunk even if it's locked up front? if not, and you have a coupe, you could fold down the seats too.

Those locks are a ****. They are all hard to turn like that to my knowledge. All my hondas had locks that would not turn without busting a nut. They will turn but it will feel like the key is going to snap in half. I remember a salesman telling me that when I bought my accord. I don't ever lock it for that reason. You can try jiggling the back seat a little to help relieve some pressure. But like I said, it will turn but it will feel like the key is going to snap.
