There are only 2 ways to lock the key in a car with keyless entry:
1) You are in the car and lock the doors with the door buttons or the key;
2) The key is in the car and you lock the car with the OTHER KEY.

CLK550
I had the same situation and WAS able to get into the trunk without towing the car to MB. I disconnected the battery and waited 15-20 minutes. Reconnected the battery and then cycled locking and unlocking using the buttons on the dash (2009 CLK550). Not sure if this did the trick or if it was the fact that I was holding the Open Trunk button on the door when my friend tried the trunk latch and it opened. So, like someone suggested earlier, it doesn't cost anything to try and you might get lucky. I thought this had ZERO chance of working but it did. Hope it does for you as well.

If you can get inside the car then remove the rear seat and you should be able to un bolt the seat backs after the bottom is removed. You might be able to pull the cable to fold down the seat. Or stick something thru metal behind the seat back and press the trunk release button on the inside of the trunk.
