That used to happen to my fathers trunk. I sprayed wd40 in it. That helped. If that don't, then its probably the lock cylinder is bad. I found this on wikianswers:

How do you fix a car door lock that doesn't open from the outside?

Remove the inside door panel ( it's not as difficult as you may think) examine the lock and find the rods that connect the key part of the lock to the lock mechanism ( called the linkage) the linkage is usually connected by nylon or plastic clips. if nylon, just pop the clip back into place and you're done. If plastic or if the nylon clip is worn you will have to get a replacement from your dealer. they are relatively cheap and it's worth it to get an exact fit part. lastly if your dealer can't locate on, check a local salvage yard for a wreck that did not have the same door damaged.
