if you cant get into the boot at all you need to fold the back seats down and get in that way, then you need to take the card off (the card that the parcel shelf strings attatch to) and there are 3 bolts that hold the lock in, tighten them up and you should be ok, if not you need to replace the lock.

try it with a screwdriver, open the boot door and try locking the catch using the screwdriver like its the catch bit in the boot, if it locks then you need to adjust the boot catch, if it dont then you prob need a new door catch

mine did this the other day, i just kept slaming it, wiggles the key a bit and tryed again, worked eventually
i also found by removing the wiper motor ive took almost all the weight off the boot lid so it takes abit more to get it shut
