You can't go forward aiming for the electronic button?

No help now, but I hang a non chipped key under every car on a copper wire, have used it several limes.
Good luck.

Since the stem you're trying to pull up is slippery, you need to form the end so it grabs tight and then twist it so when you pull up quickly, it puts more tension on the knob to help keep it from slipping. Or just get it bent correctly so it snaps over the knob and won't let go.

And I at least understood the underwire quip, though they tend to be to short to reach.

I was talking about the lock/unlock button on the driver door, not the plunger or anything under the hood. A stiff piece of metal bent the right way should be able to reach it and push it.

Update

I am happy to announce at 10:30 pm I have regained access to my vehicle. I did this all by myself using my passenger windshield blade. The rear one was a little to short and a little stolen by time I returned.
yay me!!!! I suggest we all place spare duct tape outside our vehicles can never be to prepared. And don't suggest spare key instead I've done that I never return it
