Try WD 40,failing that remove the trim and check that the actuator mechanism is intact. IIRC there is a nylon component which can break?. THIS page (http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/manual/body/closures/bootlockbarrel.pdf) may help.

I had the same problem a few years back..... & cured it by removing the lock barrel & (on the bench) spraying it with copious amounts of lubricant while turning the key & trying to push the button in.
The button soon gives & once it's pushing in & popping out when pressed, wipe it off & give it a good grease up to stop it jamming up again :)

When using the key it works it mechanically.
When using the remote or the button it uses the electric lock motor so could be a problem with the motor or power supply.
