There are two things that could be wrong. One, wrong key or key worn. Second is the lock its self could be all stuck up. Of course there other things that could be wrong like broken parts.If the car came from an area that uses salt in the winter my bet is that the lock is seized. A locksmith should be able to disasemble clean and repair. The back end of any car in the snow belt gets a unusal amount of road salt forced into the lock by the air movement behind a car . The rear locks do not get used very much allowing the lock to siezed.
