If there is in fact a valet mode, and you do actually have the master key, you should be able to get it turned back to normal with enough wiggleing and persuasion. Try some graphite on the key, you dont really want to use any kind of wet lube as it attracts dust. I would suggest that you can unscrew the release handle and pull the wire further to release the hatch, but since it is in valet mode that wont work anyways. If nothing else, you can always climb back there and try removing that rear center panel, though im not sure if it will come out with the hatch down.
