There are lots of tips but the easiest way is to have a new key made. Take proof of ownership and the vin to the dealer and they can make one. You should have a spare anyway for cases like this.

I can tell you from experience that an inflatable wedge (locksmiths have them) in the top of the window to ease the glass out so a wire lasso can be slipped in and pull the emergence release on the floor works.
Another way is to hook jumpers to the starter to charge the batt.
And stupid questions...you tried the hatch button by the license plate...and you do not have a second fob?

With the FOB so small....why does it ever leave your pocket? You dont need to unlock the doors or lock the doors with the FOB...if you set up that way. Walk up to the car squeeze the door handle ....jump in .....foot on the brake finger on the go fast start button. When your done driving around looking for on ramps and back roads get out of the car and walk away. For the dead battery part.....remove the key in the FOB have a blank cut (think its a Saturn key). I just have the all steel key no black plastic in my wallet.
