I've had my car for over half a year now and I have not been able to open the trunk with my ignition key. Is there a different key I should have or do you think something is just stuck in there?

The lock cylinder is probably seized. Too much corrosion. The lock on the black Celica that I just swapped was the same way. The cylinder worked one day, and the next it didn't. I could stick the key in but not turn it. I could still open the trunk from inside the car but that was it. I took the lock cylinder to a locksmith to have it rebuilt and it cost me $130 because they had to order virtually every part new. However, assuming yours isn't as corroded, it should only cost about $30.
