no trunk access if battery is dead

When the battery went dead. there was no way to enter the trunk to get 1) quick charge portable battery, 2) jumper cables. Access through the rear seat to pull emergency latch was near impossible for an 82 year old man. Why is there no key entry?????????? Every one will have a dead battery sooner or later, and here in the desert where it can be 110 degrees......no picnic. GS
