How to open trunk with dead battery?

I can't open the trunk, the battery is flat. The doors are open but the trunk isn't. I tried the little key in so many different directions and ways but it just doesn't open the trunk. I tried counter clockwise, clockwise, while pulling the lever, twisting then pulling the level etc but I honestly cannot get it open. What a poor poor design.

You should have a battery junction block under your passenger floorboard. You can jump or charge battery through that junction.

It's not there, is it under the actual carpet rather than the removable pieces and if so how do I pull the carpet up without damaging it...

I just did this yesterday morning. I just kept playing with the key and squeezing the level at the same time, and it popped open after a minute. Make sure to push in all the way with key.

I did push key all the way in. Does the lever resist when you open it like this? I'm scared to squeeze the lever, I don't wanna break it.

Thanks guys, the problem was I was turning it counter clockwise like all the forums suggested but I turned it clockwise while pulling the lever a little harder and it WORKED!!!! Thanks again.
