What do you mean by "sealed shut"? Even when you unlock the door manually you still can't get in? If this is the case, I have a couple of theories...

1. Your car battery is dead, not your key battery.
2. You live in a cold climate and your door is frozen shut (probably the cable inside).

i have a feelin it might be battery related too. but either way i cannot get into my car to boost it!

any possible ways of opening this car beside the drivers door?

[broknlgs24]

even if the car battery was dead,
shouldn't he be able to unlock and
open the doors manually?

Vapor Lock!

The door lock is an electronic one too, it's not mechanical. That might explain it. I dunno, what you're suppose to do in this case. Rob will most likely be able to give you the best advice regarding this. Good luck.
