I locked my keys in the car once too (pretty hot day when I was conditioning my seats). I had to ask my brother if I could use his AAA service, I called them and they said they sent a tow truck on the way. The tow truck driver came out with an air wedge (Pumps air between the crack of the door) then they stuck a wire in to press the door lock switch, they expected a security system to lock it again immediately so they pulled the handle quickly, but it was alright. From there I'm guessing you can pop open the trunk from the lever in the car on the driver's side. I would try and call a tow truck near you if you can't find anyone with AAA service.

Hope I was of some assistance.

Whoops, never mind that. I'm sure this has happened before though, I read some posts saying that it's easier going through the trunk. Hope you get through this, I strongly suggest people to get spares :P. That would save you so much trouble...
