It's back to (ab)normal now.
(the auto-close isn't working, so it sits slightly ajar instead
of pulling itself tightly closed)
I pulled the cylinder out with the key, opened the trunk with the

No joy.
Then I got in the car to drive home, saw the switch on the dash, hit it and the

Now it's recessed about 1/4"

So, this morning I pushed in the plunger to open the trunk with the car

No
Turn key to the left and pull up really hard on the trunk lid. Try it with the
key turned let and the key/cylinder pushed in, too.
