if you can get a kife inbetween the wind wing and pry up on the leaver and get it open it may help if you can get somthing bent and threw there to press in the button, or drill out the riviets on the wind wing and re rivet it back on. or call AAA or a lock smith. the last two are probably your best option

use the remot....pmsl.
but anyway, i locked my keys in the truck once, i used a coat hanger to go through the top right corner of the drivers door and pushed the unlock button, took longer to find a coat hanger and bend it then it did to open the door. use rags so you dont scratch the paint on the door and roof and use something as a wedge to open the gap, worse case a long flat tip screwdriver will work

This summer, about 2-3 weeks after I started my new job, I locked the keys in my work rig (a dang Chevy to boot!). I searched high and low all over that thing, there was no spare to be found anywhere. I spent about 1-1.5 hours crawling all over trying to figure something out, I even managed to shove a long screwdriver through the grill and pop the hood hoping to find a hole I could get inside the cab through.
I was walking away from the truck to grab a rock to throw through one of the windows when for some reason I turned around and noticed the antenna, which stuck up about 1 foot higher than the cab. I unscrewed it with my trusty Leatherman and grabbed the before mentioned screwdriver. I used the screwdriver to pry to top of the door out, then poked the antenna in and hit the unlock button.
Long story short- c00n's idea is a good one, but if you don't have a coat hanger use your antenna.

Thanks everyone. The door prying trick (coon's suggestion) worked, and it is amazing how much of a gap you can create without hurting the door. Now is when I get sixteen keys made and hide them everywhere.
