Jump it off. There are terminals under the hood for jump starting. If the batteries in the remote are dead also, most auto parts places have batteries, as does Batteries Plus.

Pull the metal "key" out of the fob and look for the lock above the license tag. You can turn that to open the hatch, then pull the wire to open the door. (can't take credit, I did a google search, found this on another site...)
One other solution was to jack the car up and use a battery charger connecting to the starter solenoid(the battery side not the starter side... and ground to the frame) to use the remote to unlock the doors..

Inside glove box, aux. start. Insert fob in pocket, should start. This is when fob is dead and can't be read.
