Default "Stupid is as stupid does" - F Gump

Whilst doing some minor electrical stuff i accidently (stupidly) left the ignition on overnight with the obvious result. Fortunately (stupidly), I had also left the keys in the ignition and the car un-locked
So, no problem, I thought - just use the key to open the boot and charge/jump start. However, the key, whilst turning the lock, does only that! It rotates the whole lock mechanism (including the chrome suround) without seemingly engaging any mechanism to unlock the lid!
I do seem to remember something about attaching jump leads to the front chassis earthing point and and live supply somewhere up front.

Can anyone enlighten me?
