rear hatch stuck!!!

my dads 92 GTA, the rear hatch will not open with the key and the button on the dash doenst work currently. we cannot turn the key at all and we tried to push down and pull up and the key will not turn at all. How the heck can we get it open without cutting open the rear interior panel??? i figured if we curt the inside plastic open, i could unbolt it from the body and open the hatch...
ANY help or opinions fire away! !

I carried mine to a locksmith. It took them a while but they got into it.
