have you a tow bar and towing electrics? I think you can charge the battery via towing electrics but I would need to look up the wiring to tell you which pins

Jack up the car and remove the under-tray if you have one.
Clip a battery charger to the main terminal on the starter motor. ( Red lead, positive. )--Clip the negative lead to a metal part of the cars bodywork.--- Switch on the charger and open your doors as normal. Easy peasy.---- |

It is a bit fiddly but possible.. Actually if you have a bit of help you don't need to clip it on the starter motor terminal. Just press it hard against it ( With care. ) while someone pushes the button on the key. The doors will unlock just about instantly.---

Another good idea is to remove the brake disc cooler triangle, seeing t5hat the wheel arch liner would nee peeling back and the screws holding it above and forward you can pop the bumper side out a little which would help you to remove the grommets holding the washer bottle, thus giving you enough room to get your hand in to the box

Won't the key open it manually? It should do, I've taken the battery off mine in the past, locked and unlocked the doors with the key
