"any ideas what the problem could be?"

Taking a SWAG - your trunk lock?

On the Si coupe at least, several of us (me included) had bins in the trunk interfere with the trunk lock - which caused it to fail. Wouldn't pop with the remote, couldn't release it with the interior trunk release. On the coupe, no key on the trunk lid, so the back seat had to come out to open the trunk. On the Sedan, you have the fallback of the key.

Mine was first "re-adjusted" - but the light had failed and it was hanging on with a single screw. They replaced it and all has been well since.

Bring it in. I'm not sure how confident you feel that the key will continue to unlock the trunk. But until you bring it in, consider folding down part of the back seat so have emergency access to the trunk.
