Default 97 Civic trunk release lever works but lock jammed

I cannot open my coupe's trunk with my keys but the release lever works. I searched and only found threads with the reverse problem. Before I replace the lock I wanted to ask if there are any known fixes. I tried heating the key with no luck. (And no, I'm not using the valet key.) Thank you

maybe the key hole is jammed up, have you ever lubricated it with graphite or WD40?
