e420 door won't open WTF? Help PLZ

Just a little backround.
During the summer my 97' e420 remote key lock doesn't work anymore. When i press the button, the doors do not lock or unlock. So I started locking and unlocking the car manually. No problem, the car is 12 yrs old, things break. But just right now I tried to unlock the door manually, with the actual key ,but the key won't turn. It fits into the key hole, but it won't turn. WTF?? It feels like somethings jammed, and it just wont turn. I can't get into the car!! WTF??

The winter cold just started kicking in NY so im guessing it's the cold weather??? WTF

Can anyone help me plzz!!!!

Am i forced to tow the car?!?!

And a new battery in the key fob as its only function is to power the signal to the door locks.
