It's an AGM battery (or should be) so just set it to that.

Alternatively open the driver's door using the key, start the engine and go do some emergency shopping in the next decent sized town. The consumer battery will recharge from the car.

Spray lubricant around the key and work it back and forth until it releases. Do the same with the drivers door. Then lubricate the locks every 6 months so they’ll work if and when you need them.
