You can get yourself back into the cabin, by inserting a stiff wire with a hook on the end, between rubber molding and window, to unlock and interior door handle.
However, as a security design feature, this will set off the vehicle theft alarm and you will not be able to open the boot with the center console release switch. Note: removing fuse(s) will shut off the alarm).
Then using the same wire and hook, you should be able fish out your FOB from the boot, though openings you'll find after removing either the seat back or convenience accessories (e.g. 1st aid kit).
Alternatively, you could just have a MB dealership make a spare FOB using your VIN.

Hi I did this all you have to do is release the bonnet and on the passenger side next to the wing near the top you see a little black box with a lid that pops up you Connet the jump leads to this and the metal part of the car to ground it and the other two ends plus and minus to a battery once connected and dash interior lights come on uae the boot switch by gear stick to unlock the boot hope this helps
