Boot/Trunk problem

I can't open the trunk on my moms w124!

It unlocks when i unlock the rest of the car so i have no clue what the problem might be! I can't put in the key in the lock on the trunk because there is mud or something in there.

if this has not been resolved yet, I would try WD40

You can use a small screwdriver to keep the small cover open and spray some wd40 in there (here in Europe the sprays come with a small plastic tube so you can get it into small openings), then use compressed air to blow the dirt out.
