Can you remove the hold down bolts or nuts that hold the seat to the floor, then move the whole seat to get a look behind the seat? I'd have to look to see if there is access to the trunk, behind the seat. Just a thought.
In the past I have had locks, where I broke the key off in the lock, not automotive. I drilled out the key cylinder to get it open. I don't want to cause more problems than you already have? If you drill out the key cylinder, I don't know if the trunk will open? If so, then maybe you could replace key cylinder after you fix everything. You could call locksmith, see if they can get it open? Don't try anything if your not comfortable with the procedure. good luck.

SOURCE: where is the release for the backseat to fold down

If your trunk release button is electric, and not working because you need to turn the key to give it power, remove the button and use a piece of wire to jump power to it from the battery. This will get your trunk open! (don't forget to have a spare key made)

SOURCE: trunk lide wont open

Try to apply pressure from the top of the trunk and push short burst while using the key, If this doese not work you can try to enter from the rear seat taking out the bolts for the rear back rest.

SOURCE: Trunk latch pull down

You could try setting release to work manually. I have had the same problem. Take tne motor off set the catch clip at the right height. This should work with no cost.

Trunk will not open with key chain button, in car button or with actual key Truck will open if I climb in from backseat and pull emergency release. 2001 Chevy Impala LS

If the key will not open it . Then the trunk lock will need replacing. If nothing opens it then it appears to be faulty.Otherwise atleast the key when all else fails should open it.Provided you have the right key and not one that does not go to your car.

There is a relay in the rear fuse block for the trunk release. marked trunk relay #36. It is marked on the under side of the lid. If you knew how they worked you could open it by jumping pin 30 to pin 87 in fuse box. on the side of the relay is a diagram of what pins are what . This system uses an electronic control module called ( the BCM ) body control module .When you push the inside release button , that sends a signal to the BCM ,then the BCM activates the relay opening the trunk . Well that won't help ,you won't believe where the fuse box is ! Fuse Block - Rear
In the rear compartment, behind the left wheel well. You could jump the wire at the BCM that goes to the relay. Can't you pull down one of the rear seats to gain access ?

I accidentally pulled the interior trunk release of 2008 volkswag

Try a screw driver,and release the trunk release at the same time and unsnap the latch,the latch thinks it is closed,because the latch never opened back up to allow the striker to go in it and trigger the latch to close,the latch is in closed mode,you will have to manually unlatch the latch sort of speak.
