If you can get into the driver's compartment (you should have a key, in addition to your Fob), drop the back seat and crawl into the trunk enough to pull the emergency release lever to open the trunk.

What EBM135Driver is talking about is the battery access Pnt. Under the hood underneath that red plastic keeper in the picture pop it off and hook up a charger, jumpstart, + to that post and negative to the chassis and things should come alive. Behind my catch can in this pic.

I have a feeling my battery is nearing its end. I see a lot of posts from 2011 owners similar to this. Fingers crossed for another year!
