If you insert a cocktail stick into the bootlock, angle it at about 30 degrees upwards the tip will locate in a small hole, lift the stick vertical and then push the key past it, turn the key slightly to the right and then left very quickly, this usually works.

You can get into the boot without damaging it...


But you need to be able to get into the car first though :D
