Key locked in trunk
I was messing with installing my new antenna today, used the key (only one) to unscrew one of the carpet tabs and set it down on the trunk floor when i was done. Well, needless to say the wind picked up and smacked the trunk right down on my head. I backed up in pain and watched the trunk shut 
then realized what I did. Is there any way, other than a locksmith to get into the trunk. I've got the keycode if that helps.

This happened to me. Lucky for me I had my Valet key. The Valet ket will not unlock the trunk lock. So what I did was take that valet key to a locksmith and had them make me a master key out of it. They will know the the missing cut is. If you do not your valet key then I dont know what to tell you.
if you use a decently slim wooden wedge and wedge it about 6-7 inches from where the door begins you shouldnt damage it at all. i watched the pop a lock ppl use this method a couple of times thats where i picked it up from.

the trunk pop method doesn't work, trunk release isn't locked and i've hooked it many times and pulled up and still nothing. I hook the gas door and that opens though 
I've got a locksmith coming that says he can open the car though..
any more ideas?

I can think positive.... I bet you will never let this happen to you again... You will need a locksmith to pop the lock, or contact the lexus dealer with your code and they can cut you a new key.
