I had the exact same symptom on my 240D last year. In my case all the tumblers
had seized inside the lock and I had to cut it apart to get them out.
I have no idea what you can do in the trunk situation...

240D (123) has been sitting in a building for almost a year. I tried
to unlock the trunk, and the key won't go in all the way. It goes in
1/2-3/4 of the way. I tried spraying in the lock with PB, but that
didn't seem to make any difference. I could insert a 3/32 drill rod
all the way and I could insert a metal wiper reinforcement (about
1/8" wide) all the way.
First I thought an element was stuck, but later thought something was
stuck inside the lock. After getting the drill rod and flat metal
in, I am back to thinking something is stuck.
I figured that I would let the PB soak for a while and see what
happens. The trunk was locked with the key when it was parked.
I don't think there is any way into the trunk without getting the
lock to work, other than as a last resort, drilling out the lock. Is
that correct?
Yes, it is the right key, it works in the ign and in the doors. Thanks
