Just bend a coat hanger in some strange ways until you can wiggle it through the window to hit the power door lock switch. Or get a hold of a locksmith. Get some spare keys made while you're at it.

I was standing in the City offices the other day and some bozo was calling his wife stating he was locked in the car!?!?!? He said the battery was dead and he couldnt get the window down either. It takes a combination of folks in lower Alabama to get a total IQ that amounts to average but is there not MANUAL door lock buttons in every vehicle on the planet?? Kinda like trying to unlock with a key fob thats dead...................uh try the key in the lock. My DIL just bought a Buick Lacrosse and the trunk does not have a key cylinder that I can find but no one rides in the trunk.

Not sure about other cars, but the C6 does not have a lock cylinder to put a key in. There is no manual door lock button on the inside either.
BUT, there is an emergency pull cable that will allow you to open the door from the inside.
I am pretty sure every single car HAS to have a way to open the door from the inside in case of power failure.

All cars built in the last 10 years or so, have a manual pull release on the inside of the trunk lid, just in case someone gets locked in there.
I locked my keys in my '84 and now I can't get the doors to open. What do I need to do to fix this fiasco? Please help!
I feel for you. I lost my keys a week ago, I found them yesterday after moving a huge Teak Dresser, under the cable. I feel dumb for not having an extra set. Live & Learn' .. Just take a coat hanger, play with it & pull the door lock open, not so hard. I have done it, it works.
Getting locked out can happen to anyone. I can never forget when I came home one raining night, and couldn't get in my house. My soon to be Xwife had locked the door. Getting in my Vette was a pain in the ***, but getting in the house was a bitch.
