I don't think my car battery is dead as the light is on inside the car, however if it was how would I access the battery if the bonnet release is inside the car?
Using it for the first time under "high" stress leads to what you have explained.. ie the key doesn't unlock.. it does work and only requires a quarter turn but I can't remember whether it's clockwise or counterclockwise... Oh, squirt some WD40 into the keyhole as it's probably never been used..
