First time I have seen this trick. Maybe it will work for you?

Help! Key won't open door! - 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa) - RennTech.org Forums
Yesterday I called a service manager where I take my car for service telling him about my situation. He told me I should pull the door handle as I turn the key and this should open the door. I plugged my battery back in and tried, though it did not open the door physically with the key, the remote started to work again.
